Fly Fishing Guide, Mark 'Smitty' Smith first fished the Henry's Fork with Will Godfrey in 1972 when he was 13 years old. That summer, he caught his first fish on a dry fly on the Yellowstone River. He returned to Island Park to work in Godfrey's shop during the summers of 1973, 1974 and 1975. He started guiding for Will in 1986 and, eventually, he came to work at Henry's Fork Anglers in 1990. A patient teacher, Smitty is also an accomplished gyotaku artist. His artwork can be seen in our shop and at the Henry's Fork Lodge.
