Background Info :
Jim spent his college days skipping classes and fishing the water in front of his cabin on Spring Creek. Luckily, all of the knowledge garnered during his time at school translated well to the Yough River—his home water.
Like any good fly fisherman, Jim tries to learn from his time on the water, and the time he’s spent chasing trout on the tail waters of the west taught him that, to best fish the Yough, he needed a driftboat. That lesson was the beginning of what became LHGS. He bought a driftboat and has been guiding anglers on the river ever since.
Jim is a licensed PA guide, is certified in CPR for the Professional Rescuer, and is also a licensed instructor in River Rescue by the PA Fish & Boat Commission.
Bottom line, you’re in good hands.

Background Info :
Ernest Pribanic has been a trout bum for most of his life and a professional one for about eleven years.
When he's not fishing his home river, the Yough, he's likely chasing trout in the American West or striped bass, bluefish, and false albacore in the Northeast.
Among his flyfishing accomplishments are first place finishes in saltwater flyfishing tournaments and a second place finish in the Outdoor Life Network's Fly Fishing Masters Northeast qualifying tournament. Using his years of accumulated knowledge he will work hard to get you into fish and make sure you have an enjoyable day on the river.
Over the years Ernest has taught many flyfishing schools for area flyshops and is an experienced casting instructor. He is certified to administer CPR, and is a licensed PA guide.
