Gifford Cochrane
Gifford has been fishing his entire life. Growing up on Oyster Bay in New York , he started his career catching snapper blues and striped bass off his dock. At the age of 16 he attended the Orvis Fly Fishing School in Manchester, Vt. This put a serious kink in what might have been a productive career path. He cut his teeth on the challenging waters of the South Platte in Colorado during his university days and in the mid ‘80’s he made his first foray into the waters of southwest Montana. He moved to Bozeman in ’93, and has never looked back.
Gifford has fished all over the world in both fresh and salt water, but, being a resident of Southwest Montana he spends a lot of time on the local rivers and lakes. He would like nothing more than to share some of that knowledge with you.

Lyn Dawson Petersen:
Lyn Dawson learned to flyfish at the age of 12 when her flyfishing parents took the family to a multiple day flyfishing school. Soon after completing the school, Lyn, unknowingly, started her journey into the flyfishing world. Lyn began her career in the flyfishing industry in 1988 where she took a job at one of the local flyshops in Sun Valley, Idaho. She spent five seasons working in the flyshops helping customers find the good fishing spots along with increasing their knowledge of equipment and flies. Lyn also taught weekly casting clinics along with some guiding. In the early 90's, Lyn moved to Bozeman, Montana and continued on with the shops and guiding in Bozeman and Livingston. In 1997 she began teaching her own flyfishing schools, many catering to women. After many successful seasons teaching, Lyn is now concentrating on
one-on-one instructional days combined with guided fishing trips. Twenty years of working in the flyfishing industry has given Lyn the knowledge and desire to help others, and there is nothing better than learning from someone who has years of experience and a true love of the sport! |
