Hunter Hines

Guide

Hunter was born and raised in Western Oklahoma where he spent most of his time on the water or in the woods. His Creede experiences early in life were limited to summertime and school-break visits with family and friends. After completing his Biological Sciences degree in college he moved to Colorado full time, spending his summers fishing and winters snowboarding. Fly Fishing has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember- having the chance to share his knowledge and experience, as well as learn from other anglers is something he truly enjoys; especially in a place as special as Creede.
