Experience: 35 years

Patrick grew up in a small Mississippi town, fishing and hunting with his father every chance he had. As an avid sportsman, he grew up with an immense respect and love for the outdoors, spending many winters as a waterfowl hunting guide in the Mississippi Delta. Patrick became enamored with fly fishing early in life, catching bass and bluegill on local waters before eventually spending his free time traveling to the rivers of northern Arkansas and east Tennessee to fish for trout. Shortly after college, Patrick moved to the mountains of Montana to pursue trophy rainbows and browns on the state's many blue ribbon streams. He eventually settled in Craig, Montana on the famed Missouri River and became a full-time fly fishing guide. He is passionate about teaching anglers of all ages and helping his clients catch the fish of a lifetime. In the off-season, he spends his days hunting big game and waterfowl before venturing south in search of giant redfish and other salt-water species.

"My Riff Mask is an essential piece of gear that is always with me.”

"As a Montana fishing guide, every year I spend hundreds of days on the water exposed to a broad rage of conditions: blazing heat, powerful UV rays, strong winds, frigid cold, and biting insects. The Riff Mask combats all of these, keeping my skin cool and protected from the harsh elements while providing superior ventilation and comfort (unlike other products that are hot and constricting, resulting in foggy sunglasses and difficulty breathing.) Whether I'm chasing salmon in Alaska, guiding clients on the Missouri River, or hunting trophy redfish in the marsh, my Riff Mask is an essential piece of gear that is always with me." ~Patrick Owen
