The service is owned and operated by Captain Chris Schatte, a seasoned angler with over 34 years of fly fishing experience. Chris has fished extensively across North America, from the pristine waters of Banff, Canada, to the Appalachian Mountains. Since discovering the Lower Mountain Fork River in 2007, he made it his permanent home in 2015. His dedication to preserving this fishery is evident in his two terms on the board of the Lower Mountain Fork River Foundation, where he worked to improve and maintain the local trout habitat. Chris is also a Pro Staff member for leading brands such as Simms, Temple Fork Outfitters, Cortland Line Company, Bug Bond, and Firehole Outdoors. His commitment to conservation extends to the use of eco-friendly materials and fly patterns that align with the river’s entomology, preserving the delicate ecosystem of this prized trout stream.
Half-day guided trips offer about four hours on the water and start at $215 for one angler, with pricing adjusted for additional participants. Full-day trips, lasting around eight hours and including a lunch break, begin at $375. For a unique perspective, drift boat trips accommodate up to two anglers (with a combined weight limit of 500 pounds) and cost $300 for a half day. Regardless of the trip type, Chris and his team provide thorough instruction and patient guidance, earning high praise for their expertise and teaching skills.
