Meet the Guide
Pierce Nelles
Head Guide
Growing up with a Class 1 stream in his front yard, Pierce is no stranger to trout. Throughout his years of fly fishing, he's spent countless hours fishing the Driftless region, and has been fortunate enough to spend time on the water in Colorado, Iowa, Michigan as well as New Zealand and Australia!
With a relentless passion for the great outdoors--specifically fly fishing for trout--his motivation to educate and encourage anglers on the sport of fly fishing truly comes from the heart. This passion reached a professional level when he began working in fly fishing retail in 2020 before becoming a professional casting instructor.
Now he wants to use his knowledge of the region and sport to share it with as many people as possible, in hopes of leaving clients more informed, more inspired, and more in-love with fly fishing!
GEAR
You--the client--are responsible for providing your own waders (if you choose to do so) as well as a fishing license and Inland Waters Trout Stamp. We encourage all clients to bring a hat, polarized sunglasses, lotion sunscreen, rain jacket, and beverages if they would like something other than water.
Other than that, we've got you covered! We want you to be able to sit back and enjoy your day without stressing about gear. All rods, flies, line, leader/tippet, and gear required for a day in the Driftless is supplied by GCFF.
