Your host, guide and the owner, Mitch Bangert, has 28 years experience exploring and fishing the Platte River Valley. 14 years ago he found his home in Saratoga that is now his client’s base for their fishing excursions.

In the early 90's Mitch was the head guide for one of Alaska’s premier fly-out lodges and often spends his winters in New Zealand chasing the South Island’s wary Rainbows and Browns.

When not fishing Mitch and his Lab can be found bird hunting from South Dakota to Mississippi or climbing 14ers in the various Colorado ranges.

Well known for his love of teaching Mitch's knowledge of the trout, the bugs they eat, and how to present them to the fish is unsurpassed. You're sure to leave with new found skills you will use anywhere you travel to chase our finned friends.

Mitch’s experience, combined with the abundance of water to fish, leaves little to chance and much to enjoy and look forward to!
