Meet the Team

Capt. Zak Robinson

Captain Zak Robinson grew up exploring the waters of New Hampshire and Maine, eventually becoming a professional guide and captain with experience from mid-coast Maine to the Virgin Islands. He discovered fly fishing while chasing wild brook trout and quickly expanded his skills to saltwater species. By age 20, he earned a Coast Guard Master license and later studied marine biology in Mexico while earning a degree in Environmental Science. Zak has worked as a research vessel captain and specimen collector in Maine and now shares his passion for fishing and conservation with anglers of all levels. As President of the Coastal Conservation Association of New Hampshire, he volunteers on restoration projects and promotes responsible stewardship. The 2025 season marks his 23rd summer guiding on the Piscataqua River.

Capt. Dylan Carney

Captain Dylan Carney hails from the Mount Washington Valley and honed his skills on Wyoming’s western rivers, the Redfish flats of Florida, and the Tarpon Lagoons of Puerto Rico. He developed a passion for Striped Bass and learned the Piscataqua River while attending the University of New Hampshire for College. His toolkit includes eagle eyes, a calm demeanor, and an ever expanding knowledge of the Piscataqua River system. Dylan most enjoys sight fishing for happy Bass on the mud flats with crab patterns, relishing the challenge and teamwork it requires between angler and guide.
