Well after much discussion and thought with the family, after 14 years of guiding, we have decided to shut down the guiding side of HMA. No we are not closing down, just taking some time off. When will we be back? Well we are not sure, but keep checking back. We will continue to offer custom rods for those of you still looking for that perfect rod. Please feel free to contact us for any info on rods or even updated fishing conditions. We'll still be on the stream, so keep a look out for us! Thank you to all those who fished with us throughout the years! Good luck and tight lines on all your fishing adventures.
