Born in Albuquerque, NM and raised in Grand Junction, CO, Pete Ashman is a child of the west. His love of the outdoors and the waters that flow through the canyons and valleys of Colorado’s Western Slope started at an early age and has only grown over the years. His approach to guided fishing is “safety first, then fun, then fish” and his 25 years in the aquatic safety industry are a testament to those priorities. A conservationist and animal lover, he is fiercely committed to the protection of natural resources and the finned, feathered, and furry creatures that inhabit them.
