Starting in the mid 1950's Marc began fishing popping bugs with his father on the upper
White, War Eagle, and Osage Rivers in NW Arkansas. This kindled an interest in fishing
that gets brighter every year. After a term with the US Navy Marc was free to pick the
places he spent time, most were chosen because of the fishing. Marc tossed lines in
Belize, Panama, Virgin Islands, Mexico, Canada, Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington,
Wisconsin, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and a few other place.
Twenty two years ago Marc returned to the White River Basin which he considers home.
The desire to spend more time on the here finally pushed him to move to Cotter, Arkansas
to pursue a career in guiding. He gets much enjoyment and satisfaction out of putting
people on fish. Mark definitely qualifies under our definition of What Makes A Great Guide Great. |
Helping clients develop the skills and predatory instincts to be successful fishers on
their own is a top priority. Marc has been accused of being meticulous in the ways he
approaches his fishing and tackle preparation. To him this is part of the fun and adds to
the passion for the places and people that come together in pursuit of game fish.
Wade fishing is his first and favorite way to fish (because it satisfies that
hunter-gatherer instinct.) But on these waters many times a boat can be a necessary tool.
For that reason he has a 20ft. motorized Jon boat and a 16ft. drift boat. Marc does not
adhere to the "9 to 5" schedule for guiding. If conditions dictate, he will be
on the water at 5am, or even 8pm if that is what it takes. Known for his humble and
sincere nature Marc invites all who are interested to fish with him.
