RICK Gildea

Raised in Colorado, Rick was always curious about the folks waving strange sticks over the river. That curiosity led to a passion for fly fishing and a lifelong pursuit began. From the rivers of the West to the remote drainages of Alaska, every trip is a chance for Rick to help create unforgettable memories. A dedicated fly tier, Rick keeps his fly boxes loaded with fresh hand-tied patterns designed to tempt even the most selective fish. His philosophy is simple: good things come to those who fish often. Off the water, Rick is a seasoned wrestling coach and expert in drywall work, bringing discipline, craftsmanship, and focus to everything he does
