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

Mark, Thank you many times over for a perfect trip. All your planning and attention really shows Ken Helfenbein
The coho fishing started strong and just continued to strengthen, peaking by the hour. There was a session with Jim Bean at "Porpoise Flats" that goes down as the BEST 90 minutes of fishing in my life bar none. Really large silvers on every cast, we spent most of the time doubled up. I'm fairly certain there were no two happier people on the planet at that moment. Bob Erickson
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
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
The absolute best fishing in my life; super guides who knew how to fish & tremendous food. Jon Trachta. July 17-25, 2014. Goodnews River.
I released more fish in the first three days than I’ve caught in my entire life, combined! Will Tully. Goodnews. July 17-25, 2014.
I told people I was going on the trip of a lifetime and that is exactly what this has been. John Gormley. Togiak River. August 11-18, 2018
A week filled with fish, great food, magnificent camp sites, spectacular vistas, wildlife sightings, fun and, most of all, good people Bob Erickson
I can't seem to get the wilderness, the abundance of fish, & the whole camping experience out of my mind. I have never experienced anything similar and I am addicted. Sam Carlisle
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
