" Trout water is the most beautiful place one can find themselves, at any given time, in any given place. I am simply a student of the game, my only desire is that through fishing together my clients leave feeling that they have greater insight into that which makes trout fishing possible... oh yeah... and a few "Big Fish" stories to brag about"

Born and raised in the great state of Montana, Ashton has fished these waters for longer than many guides twice his age.
Born and raised in Lander, Wyoming, Shaun Zgurich grew up with the Wind River Mountains as his backyard and an early love for the outdoors that shaped his life and career. He began fly fishing in 2009 and has since developed a deep expertise in both mountain and river environments throughout the Northern Rockies.
In 2024, he completed both the Beginner and Advanced Fly Fishing Guide Schools with Sweetwater Travel Company in Montana, further refining his skills in client care, reading water, and guiding with professionalism in diverse conditions. His knowledge of the outdoors is matched by his calm, grounded presence — a trait strengthened by a previous career in the medical field, including years as a certified Basic Life Support, CPR, and First Aid Instructor.
Now based in Montana, he guides anglers and outdoor enthusiasts across some of the state’s most remote and rewarding terrain. Whether leading backcountry trips or float adventures, he brings patience, clarity, and a deep respect for the land to every outing. Clients appreciate his ability to teach without ego, guide without pressure, and create memorable, safe experiences that are rooted in connection — to the place, the pursuit, and the moment.
With a strong foundation in both wilderness skills and emergency response, Shaun is a reliable, knowledgeable, and steady guide for anyone looking to experience the wild heart of the West.
