Rich Hudgens - Guide Rich will be starting his fifth year with us this spring. Rich has been fishing Catskill waters most of his life. Ever since he got his hand on one of his father’s fly rods at age 14 Rich has been honing his skills.

Rich’s early introduction to Trout fishing came on the waters of the Esopus and Beaverkill. It wasn’t long however before Rich’s fishing habit had him expanding his range. After fishing the waters of the Delaware River Rich knew he found his true calling. Over time he learned the necessary skills to consistently fool the large and challenging Trout that live here. At this time he also realized that he had the knowledge and patience to teach others. For Rich becoming a guide was a natural progression.
Rich has been handling both Drift Boat and Walk Wade Trips for us. His never ending enthusiasm and hands on approach to instruction have been an instant hit with our customers! Rich also regularly fishes the tributaries to Lake Ontario and he will be joining us this autumn during our Salmon and Steelhead camp and planning one of our Upcoming Trophy Brown Trout Trips.
