Nate Hotte
Ambassador, Guide & Owner — Hotte Guiding Nate's fishing started the way the best ones do — on the water with his dad, wading the Forks of the Credit and Bronte Creek. Sixteen-plus years later, he's a full-time guide and owner of Hotte Guiding, after three seasons logging 100+ days a year at Esnagami Lodge in Northern Ontario. He guides trout and steelhead year-round, on the fly and centrepin. Fishes: Tailwater 9' 7wt Follow Nate on Instagram: @natehottefishing |

Luke PartridgeOriginally from the UK, Luke now calls the Canadian mountains home. He splits his working life between paramedicine and ski instructing — and found fly fishing after a spinal injury from a mountain biking accident sent him looking for a gentler way into the wild. These days he fishes it all: tightline nymphing for browns on technical water, streamers for bull trout, and dries to rising cutties on high mountain streams. Fishes: Grand 9' 5wt Follow me on Instagram: @summitstostreams Watch Luke announce it himself — the Grand 5wt, his new ambassador rod: Watch on Instagram |

OliviaHi, I'm Liv! I'm a beginner angler from Canada and an outdoor creator sharing my journey as I learn. Fishing opened up a whole new world for me — I love chasing new species, figuring things out as I go, and never knowing what the next day outside will bring. Most of all, I hope sharing the adventure inspires other people to get outside, try something new, and make their own adventures. Fishes: Current 9' 5wt |
