PROFESSIONAL FLY FISHING GUIDES

	Scott Cook is the owner and operator of Fly and Field Outfitters he is also the head guide on the Cascade Lakes. His love for the sport of fly fishing and the Central Oregon area is obvious the second you walk in the door. He has guided and fly fished the waters around Bend for the past twenty years. Scott’s home water is Crane Prairie though you have a good chance spotting him chasing just about any species or in any time zone that will put a bend in that fly rod.
	Steve Light From his Granadma’s catfish pond with a Snoopy pole at age six to a fourteen foot spey rod on the Lower Deschutes River today, Steve has lived fishing his whole life. Spending the last eighteen years as an Oregonian he has dedicated thirteen of that to professional guiding. His specialty is the Deschutes river multi day fly fishing trips, but you can find him “gettin’ wet” from the flats of Carribbean to the mountain waters of Central Oregon. Steve’s passion for the fly is exemplified in his ability to teach and excite all levels of anglers..
	Dave Merrick is our local “retired guide” he now serves as Fly & Field's shop manager, a term he uses quite loosely....Dave was born and raised in Oregon and has been fishing Central Oregon waters since grade school. In 1987 Dave moved to the Bend area full time and began guiding the Lower Deschutes River the same year. In 98' Dave took his "guiding career" to Bristol Bay Alaska where he spent 6 seasons in Katmai National Park as a guide and eventually head guide at Kulik Lodge, thus making him Fly & Field's resident Brown Bear "expert". A Federation of Fly Fishers certified casting instructor since 89', Dave has appeared on ESPN's Fly Fishing the World and Destination Outdoors.
	Neal Burrell is a versatile guide who enjoys fishing the wide variety of rivers and lakes that Central Oregon has to offer.

Neal is a patient instructor on the water and continues this passion for teaching in the off-season as a fully certified snowboarding coach at Mt. Bachelor.
