James Prasek

Owner & Head Guide

The man, the myth, the fish whisperer. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, James is a highly accomplished angler, guide, and fly tyer who’s made it his mission to share his obsession (oops, we mean passion) for fishing with anyone willing to pick up a rod. He started guiding to show others the thrill of fly fishing, the beauty of nature, and just how cool you can look while wearing waders.

James doesn’t just fish—he hunts predatory freshwater fish like pike, trout, and walleye with the precision of a laser-guided missile (but, you know, way more eco-friendly). He knows their quirks, their habits, and probably their favorite snacks, making him your go-to guy for landing that dream catch. If you’re looking to up your game—or just want to impress your friends by saying you hooked a trophy pike—James is your guy.

Whether you’re a total rookie who thinks fly fishing involves actual flies or a seasoned pro who wants to swap fish tales, James is here to make your trip unforgettable. Come for the fish, stay for the dad jokes, and leave with the best fishing story of your life.
