About Us
Meet Your Guide
Hi, I'm Douglas — born and raised in Sedona, and I've been fishing these waters my whole life. My dad got me hooked young, and I never looked back.
I started Frenchie Fly Fishing because I love sharing this sport with people. There's nothing like watching someone land their first trout and walk away seeing Arizona in a completely different way. Whether you've never held a fly rod or you're looking to sharpen your technique, I'll meet you where you are and make sure you have a great day on the water.
I guide private trips in Sedona, the Verde Valley, and the Mogollon Rim — some of the most scenic and uncrowded water in the state. I'm fully licensed and permitted on local public lands. Every trip is kept small and personal, because that's the only way I know how to do it right.
