CHRIS WISTNER "Wis" grew up fishing, hunting, and camping around the Finger Lakes area in upstate New York, but always wanted to see the mountains out west. He moved to Park City in 1991, excited about fly-fishing and exploring the pristine streams and lakes of northern Utah. His love of fly-fishing encompasses not only the pleasure of fishing, but also the enjoyment of the beautiful scenery and incredible natural resources that abound in Utah.

PAM SANDBERG Originally from southern California, Pam fished and camped in the mountains near Los Angeles as a small child. It was a natural progression for her to take up fly-fishing when she moved to Utah over twenty-five years ago. Pam particularly enjoys teaching women and children how to fly-fish and is currently the instructor for our women's school. Pam's appreciation of the outdoors makes her fly-fishing lessons all the more interesting.

MASON OSBURNE Mason grew up in Southern California with a love for the outdoors. He moved to Park City in 1989 to enjoy the mountain lifestyle- snowboarding in the winters, biking, hiking, and exploring Utah the rest of the year. Fly-fishing was soon added to his list of favorite things to do year-round. He enjoys sharing the experience of a day on our local rivers and inspiring newcomers to the sport.

ERIC HUFNAGLE Eric joined the Jans team of fly fishing guides in the summer of 2002 after being lured by both the Wasatch Mountains and best buddy Jeremy Rogers (also a guide for Jans). Prior to that, he guided in the White Mountains of New Hampshire for eleven years. He also spent two years guiding in South America on the Futalefu in Chile. But, his world traveling does not end there; Hufnagle has fished all over the world including his most recent trip to Norway.

JEREMY ROGERS Jeremy has been a fly fisherman all of his life. He loves teaching people the art of fly-fishing and gets great enjoyment seeing his clients catch fish on a fly. Jeremy is an experienced guide on the Green River and has guided extensively on the Provo and the Weber River Drainage. He grew up fishing rivers in Maine and moved to the West after college where he has been guiding for Jans for the past several years.

JEFF HARWIN I grew up in Fort Myers Florida; I first started fishing with my brother and friends in the inshore waters of Fort Myers. I was introduced to Fly fishing over seven years ago while I was a Camp Counselor In Pennsylvania . After that Summer I put down all my spin equipment and started chasing Tarpon and Snook with a fly. I moved to the Park City area last summer to Guide the great rivers of Utah. I live in Kamas with guide Buddys Jeremy and Andrew, it is really nice living with friends that share the same passion that you do. For me there is nothing greater then watching the joy of someone learning the art of fly fishing.

ANDREW CATANESE Andrew "CAT," Grew up fishing the lakes, rivers, and coastal waters of New England. At the age of twelve he his grandfather introduced him to flyfishing but it wasn't until he was twenty that he put down the spin rod and focused on the art of flyfishing. In 2002 he moved from Bar Harbor Maine to Park City Utah were he found himself surrounded by people and places that allowed him to learn and share, through guiding, his love of fishing.

CODY EDWARDS Cody is native to Utah and grew up fishing local waters from the Weber River to the Uinta National Forest. He spent his childhood knee deep in water with rod in hand casting to rising trout. Cody's passion for fly fishing continues to grow as he pursues species such as trout, bass, carp and even tiger muske on the fly rod.

BRYAN SILVEY Bryan Silvey grew up in Asheville North Carolina stalking the creeks and rivers of the southern Appalachian for native Brook trout.
