Chris Carlson

I am an Arizona native who grew up fishing Arizona’s lakes, rivers, and streams. As a child, my love for fly-fishing developed over the many years I spent fishing with my father and brothers in the White Mountains. As an adult, I had a strong desire to share my passion for the sport of fly-fishing with others. This angler’s drive and passion for the sport culminated in the creation of Silver Creek Fly Fishing Guide Service in 2004. My legacy is for you to develop and enjoy the sport as much as I do! My experience and knowledge of the White Mountains has given me the opportunity to be one of a handful of guides licensed to access the beautiful White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation. My unique ability is to teach adults and children of all ages, and I am equipped to handle the most experienced fisherman to the novice, and those just beginning to explore this exciting sport. I take great care to listen and be responsive to each client’s fishing needs and strive to create the optimum fishing experience which will not only meet, but exceed the angler’s expectations! In addition to the White Mountains, my fishing travels have taken me to many interesting and varied places including, Christmas Island, Mexico, Alaska, Michigan, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon, Colorado, and New Mexico.
