Combining a passion for education and a love of fishing seemed only natural to Alex Bell, a lifetime fisherman. After retiring from public education Bell decided to become a fly fishing guide. The river provides a form of solace and refuge from the troubles of daily life, and is always available to Bell when he needs it.

The therapeutic nature of fly-fishing is something that Bell enjoys sharing with everyone that he meets. He starts his days with clients, and ends them with friends.
