Meet your guide, Gregg "Bomar" Tipton

Bomar has been an avid fisherman since a young boy where he learned to fish in the Sierra Nevada's of California. He started guiding in 1973 on Idaho's Middle Fork and Main Salmon Rivers. He graduated from Colorado State University in 1977 with a Bachelors in Wildlife Biology. The numerous other rivers he has guided include: The American, Arkansas, Colorado, Eagle, E. Carson, Gunnison, Merced, North Platte, Roaring Fork, Rogue, Selway, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Yampa, and of course, the Green River. Bomar has over 30,000 miles of river experience and he is an excellent outdoor chef, specializing in Dutch Oven Cookery. He has even had his recipes published in an outdoor cookbook.

In 1999 American Subaru Outback produced a show featured on ESPN. Bomar and the Green River Drifters were featured guests. The new millennium brought a featured article in the magazine Endless Vacations describing the Drifters overnight trips in Browns Park. From the Minneapolis Star to the L.A. Times, numerous articles have been written about Gregg, his guides and the dedication to quality of service that Green River Drifters provide.

Bomar has been a member of the Steamboat Ski Patrol for twenty-five years and is certified as an Emergency Medical Technician. For a great fishing experience that you'll never forget, give Bomar and his guides a call to arrange your trip or ask him what flies are working this week.
