About Bailey

Born and raised in Durango, CO. Bailey learned the art of fly fishing with her dad, who was a guide in Southern Colorado throughout her upbringing. She studied Spanish at Fort Lewis College, and spent time working and studying abroad in south and central Chile. Her personal love for fishing developed in college, when she found a group of girls that were avid anglers and great friends. After graduating, Bailey moved to Bozeman, MT. to check out the endless places to fish and ski. While she did love it there, she returned to Durango after a couple of years to pursue the opportunities she had with her dad to guide. Bailey was welcomed into a great guide community upon moving home, and has been fortunate to branch out in the field, by offering women specific clinics, casting instruction and guide trips. During the offseason she typically coaches alpine ski racing, although she is now headed into a new chapter with the start of nursing school. She has guided the rivers of southwest Colorado for three years, and spent her first season with Wild River Guides during the summer of 2018. Bailey loved Alaska, and enjoyed sharing river adventures with our wonderful guests. She looks forward to spending more time on the spectacular fisheries that the Togiak Wildlife Refuge has to offer.

Testimonials

They acted like horses compared to my Montana spring creek Rainbows Craig Roberts
Just then a large grizzly appeared through the willows at the far bank. It was a great Alaska scene. I will continue to explore Alaska with Mark as long as I hold up. John Merritt
Not a week goes by that I don't think about my fishing adventures with Mark Rutherford in the most remote, stunning, and productive fishery on the planet, Bristol Bay, Alaska. R.A. Beattie
I have a flood of memories from Alaska, but the most remarkable ones were fishing with Mark John Markoff
The absolute best fishing in my life; super guides who knew how to fish & tremendous food. Jon Trachta. July 17-25, 2014. Goodnews River.
Awesome Trip! A life changing event for me. We made a great team and worked well together, laughing and enjoying every moment. I personally am very grateful for the opportunity to meet and share those moments with all of you. Davide Picard. Kanektok River. June 27-July 5, 2014
I have fly fished Alaska for many years and this is the best. Not only the number of fish but the quality of the fishing . John Moore
In our days floating down the river, we encountered the rainbow trout in its rarest form — completely wild, ferocious and faster than a speeding bullet Paul Greenberg
There was a hard strike with jumps and hollers to match my excitement. Such magnificent beings these Silver Bullet Coho are. Amy Robinson
