Skip Dixon has been guiding at Lees Ferry since
Oct. 1999. In his first year at the Ferry he guided
an astounding 267 days! Skip was born in 1969 and
raised in Manassas VA., where he began fishing
an early age. After High School he joined the Marine
Corps where he served in Security Forces and traveled
the world.
He has always wanted to be a professional fisherman.
When not fly fishing for trout he is an avid
saltwater and accomplished bass angler. He catches “double
digit” bass regularly and has the pictures to prove it. Besides fishing,
Skip has a worked for several years in the fishing retail business. He spent
the summer of 2003 guiding in Alaska as a fly-out guide specializing in sight
casting for trout. He has been featured in several magazines and is acknowledged
for developing the “tease and switch” technique for fly fishing Lake
Powell striped bass.
Skip also traveled to the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan in July of 2005 and most recently to the Patagonia region of Chile in South American during January of 2006.
Skip loves to teach people the finer art of fly fishing. He feels that watching
people develop their skills is the most rewarding aspect of his job. He is at
home guiding beginners or expert anglers and his enthusiasm for his sport is
only exceeded by his desire for his customers to have an enjoyable outing.
Skip has appeared on Fly Fish TV, filmed at Less Ferry with Terry and Wendy Gunn. The episode is titled "Lees Ferry Tales" and is available on DVD.
