Meet The Guides
Ken Mihal
Ken grew up fishing the small rivers and streams of Pennsylvania. Originally from Pittsburgh, he moved to Park City in the early 90’s. Ken’s best friend shared his love of fly fishing with him, and the rest is history! When Ken’s not with clients, him and Jen are fishing the waters of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho or chasing Bones in the Bahamas. Ken’s always got a song in his head, of which he will, no doubt, share with you through randomly singing or whistling (haha), along with his patience and dedication to making your experience tailored to you and an enjoyable one!
Jen Mihal
Jen was born and raised in Texas. Twin to a brother, she was constantly outdoors exploring, fishing and hunting. She moved to Park City in her late teens (early 90’s), met Ken 4 years later, picked up her first fly rod… and never looked back! She has spent countless days on these local rivers. Her and Ken’s vacations/days off are always spent in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and the Bahamas fly fishing! Being diagnosed/treated for a brain tumor, Crohns disease, AND gland cancer, all in the last 12 years has REALLY taught me not to take ANYTHING for granted and to not sweat the small stuff! Trust me, LIFE IS TOO SHORT! My goal is to laugh, love and LIVE a fish filled, amazing life and I would LOVE to share that with you! I will work my hardest to get you into fish and teach you all that you want to learn (or not, haha).. either way!
Bennett Weycker
While growing up in Appleton, Wisconsin, Bennett often spent MORE than just his spare time of the summers of his earlier years playing hockey, and fishing the Chain O'Lakes of Waupaca, Wisconsin; meanwhile, still managing to "squeeze in" many adventures into the area of The Driftless. His passions of both hockey and fishing eventually landed him in Eastern New York, playing hockey for SUNY Morrisville, and fishing the Salmon River, as well as the tributaries of Lake Michigan and Lake Ontario for Salmon, Steelhead and Lake Run Browns. It was the stories, from his college mates, about fishing the legendary Western Rivers that piqued his curiosity enough to begin taking trips (MUCH TOO OFTEN for his College budget) to Wyoming and Utah; and as the story usually goes, after his first "Western Rivers Trip", he was hooked! To help pay for those trips, Bennett spent much of his college summers off, guiding for us, on the Provo River, Weber River, Strawberry River, as well as many others! Upon graduating college, and evaluating the long term toll the body takes in a life of playing hockey, Bennett made the decision to not move forward with a Professional Hockey career, and instead, moved out to Park City, Utah to pursue his fly fishing passion of Fly Fishing; then becoming one of our full time, year round guides. DO NOT let that baby face fool you....Bennett is a diamond in the rough! Unlike MOST of his peers in his age group, Bennett's hard work, integrity, reliability, and TRULY knowing the value of a dollar; as well as, the importance of having put the time in, and the hard work required, to provide the "commitment based" level of customer service, expertise, patience AND kindness that used to be the industry standard, and STILL IS the standard of Park City On The Fly, IS what you will see every time Bennett takes you, your family, and your friends out on the river!
Max Akey
Max began his love for fly fishing while growing up in Vermont. His enthusiasm for the rivers/streams extended into the southern part of the state such as the Battenkill and Metttawee, along with local water closer to the Burlington area, eventually leading to his (as of now) favorite fly fishing adventure living out of a van for a month in New Zealand’s south island fishing. Upon discovering the Western Mountains, Max landed in Utah and has not looked back!! He has a large diversity of experience in fishing and adventure and has developed a passion for studying/protecting the environment. Max is a very fun loving and patient guide. He has been an amazing addition to our fishing family!
Duke Grewe
Duke was born and raised in northern utah and has fished the local waters since he was a little boy. He has traveled extensively fishing from Central America to Northern Canada and everywhere in between, including his home away from home, the Madison River in montana. Duke has a passion for teaching kids to fly fish, especially his 2 sons. To Duke there is nothing that brings friends and family together quite like a day on the river, so he treats every client like part of the family!
