In 2011 Nick joined a local guide outfit in eastern, PA and quickly expanded the business into offering float trips on some of Pennsylvania’s best waters for trout, smallmouth bass, musky and pike. During this time Nick was a featured guide multiple times in Field and Stream’s Video Series, “Hook Shots,” he contributed to Field and Stream Magazine and was published by Fly Fisherman Magazine. Nick has worked tirelessly to establish a career in guiding and in 2015 began guiding on a full-time basis.

 

In 2017 Nick became an Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Guide and in 2018 Nick started Wild East Outfitters. Wild East Outfitters now has a fleet of 5 drift boats and 4 guides working for the outfit and will expand as the need arises. In Spring and fall, Nick spends most of his time running float trips on the Lehigh River for trout and his summers are spent guiding on the Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers for smallmouth bass.
