Dan Shepherd

Master River Guide / Managing Partner

Dan Shepherd has been fly fishing since the late 1960's . He was taught by the Earl and Verlene Rose family out of North Ogden, Utah. Their sons, Mark and Brett, invited Dan on camping and hunting trips and introduced him to fly fishing. During college and his early professional teaching and insurance career, he fished often. He  started rowing a driftboat more than 22 years ago. He credits Terry Cochran, a savvy fly fisherman from Idaho Falls, with teaching him to row a driftboat. Dan has lived and fished in Utah, Idaho and Montana. He has also fished for trout in South America, Russia and Alaska. Recently he has also become addicted to saltwater fly fishing. Dan loves to serve customers in the fly shop. He has made the Grizzly Hackle known as a friendly place that will respect all customers, no matter their skill level, and help you find the gear you need. He also enjoys guiding clients a few days a week.
