Experience an Exciting Fly Fishing Adventure with Ellis Ward Guide Service!

Ellis Ward Guide Service offers expert fly fishing focused on streamer fishing for trophy Brown Trout. Our trips cover a variety of experiences, including Brown Trout on tailwaters, Freestone Smallmouth, and Musky.

With thousands of days fishing and guiding on these rivers, Ellis has gained immense knowledge and has even designed his own flies based on personal observations of what triggers big fish to strike.

Our daily program varies based on fish behavior, seasonality, angler preferences, and conditions. It includes activities like streamer fishing, sight casting dry flies, mousing for Brown Trout at night, topwater fishing for Striped Bass and lake run Brown Trout, or a combination of these options.

If you've ever found Trout fishing boring or disliked watching a bobber for hours on end, you're not alone! At Ellis Ward Guide Service, we believe fishing for big Trout should be engaging, exciting, active, and adventurous.

Our catch-and-release trips guarantee the preservation of these marvelous creatures, although exceptions can be made for a few memorable catches. Prior to the trip, make sure to obtain a fishing license, which can be done online or by consulting the captain. Food, drinks, and all necessary gear are included in our packages.

For an exhilarating fly fishing adventure, make a reservation with Ellis Ward Guide Service!
