Shortly
after obtaining his undergraduate degree in Biology, chief guide and owner, Ken Hastings wasted little time in
putting that knowledge to use. After a brief stint here in New Hampshire his travels carried him to Jackson Hole,
Wyoming where he spent four years as the assistant manager of Rivermeadow’s Crescent ‘H’ ranch, a guest ranch and
fisheries preserve. His duties while there ranged from making stream inprovements on the ranch's spring creeks,
to guiding fishermen on such legendary rivers as the Snake, Yellowstone, Lewis, and Madison. Ken was also asked
to giving fly casting instruction and fly tying demonstrations to the guests.

With
his return to northern New Hampshire in 1982 he introduced the art of drift boat fishing to the upper Connecticut
and Androscoggin rivers. Twenty eight years later his oars continue to ply these mighty rivers with hopes of passing
the tradition on to his boys in the not too distant future.
