My name is John Marshall. I have been married for 28 years to the same wonderful women. As a younger man I competed in numerous Marathons and Triathalons. I have 30 years of fly fishing experience and I am very good at what I do. My knowledge of stream entomology and trout biology serves my guests well. I am a friendly and courteous person, who will go the extra mile to ensure my guests a memorable experience. Being a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY enables me to offer delicious stream side barbecues. I represent the Sage rod company, so my guest can be sure that all quality equipment, the best in the industry, will be available for their use as well as flies, most tied by myself. A camera and film will be supplied at no additional charge. I am a Trout Unlimited member and past director. I have represented T.U. at a Conflict Resolution Workshop regarding water drawing issues. I have demonstrated fly tying at local schools. I have made numerous donations of time and services to worthwhile causes such as stocking salmon smolt, stream improvement projects, and float trips both scenic and fishing, as well as fishing how to presentations and fly tying classes. My donations have been to hospitals, schools, Outdoor Women Program, Private clubs, Sport shops, T.U meetings and banquets, and Forestry Service. I strongly believe in and practice catch and release fishing. There was a fine article written about me in Vermont Life by Walter Wetherell. Walter Wetherell devoted an entire chapter called Wild Trout in his book North of Now, which reflected on a day floating the river with me. Because I am on the river when not at my government job my guest have an in touch guide as well one who is not dependent on guiding fees to pay for his mortgage and bills. I will not hesitate to call a trip off if conditions are poor. My policy is to give back 100% of the deposit or apply it to another trip.
