Fly Fishing Guides & Fly Shop Staff

Scott Gobel (Head Guide):
Scott had the good fortune of growing up in Crawfordsville, Indiana near Sugar Creek. He has fished Sugar Creek his whole life. Scott’s real expertise is streamer fishing and he has developed many flies for Smallmouth Bass. The rattle minnow is one of the coolest flies anyone has ever developed and it really catches fish. Scott is in demand so don’t wait too long to book for April and May… he will be on the water for 60 days in those two months.  Scott can be reached at scott@wildcatcreekoutfitters.com

Chad Miller (Owner):
Chad is the founder of Wildcat Creek Outfitters and has been guiding since 1996. He has developed flies like the Wildcat Creek Streamer, Sugar Creek Crawdad and Chad’s Hellgrammite. Chad, along with friend Jerry Darkes, created a video series called “Guide Patterns”. Chad’s video is called “Guide Patterns for Smallmouth Bass”. Chad’s guide schedule is very limited these days but he still likes to spend a few days a month rowing a boat. April and August are his favorite months to guide.  Chad can be reached at chad@wildcatcreekoutfitters.com

Eric is another local guy who grew up in Lafayette and now resides in Zionsville. Eric is guiding his clients on very unique Carp trips on Lake Michigan.
