John Drew:

Shasta Outfitters LLC is owned by John Drew. At age 8, John was fly fishing the waters of the Trinity River for trout and steelhead and hunting ducks in the rice fields of the Sacramento Valley. His early outdoor interests led him to a B.S. degree in Wildlife Management from UC Berkeley.

During college, he began his career as a biologist by working as a wild pig trapper in the hills of the SF Bay Area. After college, he worked on various projects involving steelhead and coho salmon, the biology and distribution of wild pigs, and using aquatic insects as indicators of water quality.

He then returned to UC Berkeley for a M.S. degree focusing on the role of wild pigs in the ecology of Lyme disease. John’s guiding career was born by working weekends as a wild pig hunting guide to support both himself and his research. He is the author of several scientific papers and has instructed both high school and college-level courses in aquatic ecology, fisheries biology, insect biology, and wildlife ecology.

His love for educating others about the outdoors led to the formation of Shasta Outfitters, a full-time fly fishing, hunting, and birding adventure company. Though John now spends much of his time in the office, he continues to guide all of the various trips offered by Shasta Outfitters.

Bill McBurney, owner of Ambassador Guides & Outfitters, began guiding in 1979.

As Lees Ferry's first licensed guide, he has seen many changes at Lees Ferry & Lake Powell over the years. As a native Arizonan, he still feels this is one of the best states to live in with some great opportunities for fishing. Bill & his wife Judy own and operate their fly shop adjacent to the Lees Ferry Lodge located in Marble Canyon, AZ.

Bill specializes in fly fishing on the river for rainbows as well as spin casting for some great rainbow and brown trout. Because of a love for a saltwater-type fishing adventure, he has been concentrating on Lake Powell stripers & smallmouth using a fly rod over the past several years.

Bill also offers guided spin & bait fishing trips for bass as well.

Overnight camping trips can be arranged on Lake Powell for avid anglers. With the largest boats on the river & lake Bill offers top quality trips. Wheelchair accessibility is available.
