About Spencer
Spencer Crider learned to fly fish at age 11 on the shores of the Conococheague and Conodoguinet Creeks in central Pennsylvania.
In 2002, Spencer visited Montana for the first time and fell in love.
During summers between college semesters, Spencer came out to visit his Cousin Adam in Big Sky and started working at a local fly shop. Rather than pursue the medical field, he decided to stick around for good after that final summer in 2011.
Spencer met his wife, Anna, in 2015, at the original Lone Peak Cinema. They welcomed their daughter, Joy, in 2022, and have a son on the way. When Spencer’s not guiding, he’s fishing, camping, snowboarding, or watching soccer and hockey while wrangling Joy.
About Adam
Adam Skaggs dedicated his life to catching large mouth bass in Florida by age 6. Like that, he was hooked. At 18, he moved to southwest Montana so he could flyfish in Yellowstone National Park, after a few years he moved to Big Sky and got a job guiding with East Slope Outdoors. He bought a boat (the same Green Machine you’ll still see him row); had a son, Noah; and married the love of his life, Angie. He now splits his time between guiding his beloved rivers in Montana and his salt-water mangroves in the Florida keys.
When Adam’s not guiding, he’s fishing or Phishing.
