Lance Wilt, Instructor

Lance Wilt was born and raised on the banks of Pennsylvania’s famed Big Fishing Creek. Though he wasn’t born with a fly rod in his hand, he may as well have been. His youth was spent harassing trout on his native water as well as that of Penns Creek. His passion for the outdoors inspired his education in Outdoor Recrea­tion Management from Lock Haven University, while keeping him close to home, near the trout water he so dearly loves.

 

While pursuing his education, Lance began an internship with the Spruce Creek Fly Co. as a guide and part time shop employee. He quickly excelled in the guiding and became one of the company’s most requested guides. The following season Lance worked for several outfitters where he continued to gain experience and develop his style of teaching.

 

His technical skills and personality are second only to his passion for fly fishing. Lance spends over 250   days a year on the water, either guiding or fishing. His journey through the fly fishing profession has taken him all over the world, from South America to Montana, and back again. His career has followed a similar route. After testing the waters and experiencing several different companies, Lance currently serves as a well sought after fly fishing guide and instructor.
