home. 'There are lots of fantastic waters in other places, but none of them are home to me the way the streams and rivers of the eastern Sierra
are.' Beryl prides herself as being an instructional fly fishing guide. 'It's exciting to have someone who is just starting fishing, or who has
limited knowledge and experience, and to help them improve their skills. I love to see clients get really excited about the sport. It's
always rewarding, for me and for the clients.' Regardless of your level of expertise, fishing with Beryl is always a rewarding experience. |

 Robert Carter - Robert first went fishing with his uncle in Washington, more than 40 years ago. His first fish was a 35lb Salmon... he was hooked.
Robert grew up in South Torrance and enjoyed the ocean and fishing in King Harbor. In the mid 70's he moved to Santa Clarita were he really enjoyed
fishing Castaic Lake. On a whim he went on a weekend trip to June Lake in '79 and knew he had found Paradise and has been fishing there ever since.
He was doing so good that one of the dock boys started calling him 'the legend'... (he wishes).Robert taught all his nephews and nieces over the years to fish, everything from mini jigs to trolling, and all have done
very well, especially on ultra lights with 2# test. He has also taken out many friends and family over the years and most did well.
He did just that and in April he left his job at Coca Cola and many friends and moved up to June Lake to follow his dream.

 Shon Eastridge - Shon has been hooked on fishing since he was a young boy growing up in Redondo Beach. At the age of 12 he was working and fishing on commercial boats
out of the Marina. Shon's specialty was helping customers with rigging up rods, casting instructions, lure selection and making sure they had a great experience.Even though Shon has a strong passion for salt water fishing he couldn't deny the beauty and serenity of the Eastern Sierras. On several occasions Shon
fished the Sierras, so it was no surprise at the age of 20 he decided to trade in the ocean for the mountains and relocated to Mammoth. Guiding came natural to Shon, who has taught his wife Julie and two sons, Eli and Dylan, to fish. The whole family has grown to love fishing and the boys
are already pros at the ages of 5 and 13. Shon has been a guide in Mammoth for 4 years and really enjoys taking out the families who have children. 'The
look on a child's face when they catch their first fish makes my day!' Shon has said. Shon, his family and their dog Kona all love to camp, hike and fish around the Majestic Sierras. |
