MEET YOUR GUIDES
Our highly skilled guides are here for YOU. Owners Michael Tuminaro and David Tyrol have been through extensive training as guides and first responders and will use this knowledge to make sure your hunt is seamless and successful from start to finish. Mike and Dave actually run a guide school and teach others how to become great guides! All of our guides are not only experts in the sport - excellent at handling the dogs, locating birds and helping you find the perfect shot - but they’re also really fun to be around!

He became a Registered Maine Guide in 2023 for hunting.

Sawyer Deroche
Sawyer is a native Mainer and has been fishing, hunting, and wandering the Maine wilderness for all 25 years of his existence. He grew up with a dad who was an Allagash River guide and he inherited a deep love for Maine's woods and waters. As a registered Maine guide for fishing and recreation, Sawyer would rather be on the river than anywhere else. He loves to fly fish for all things, but among his favorite species are Landlocked Salmon, Smallmouth Bass, American Shad, Striped Bass, Northern Pike and of course, a Maine favorite, the beautiful Brook Trout. Sawyer also loves to write about the outdoors and fishing, loves to play guitar, and tie flies.
