Like many others before him, Carter is an east-coaster who fell in love with the West and made the Roaring Fork Valley his home. Carter began his guide career at CFS several seasons ago and has quickly become a force to be reckoned with on the water. He is often found wading his clients on the Crystal and the Frying Pan, and enjoys floating in his Clackacraft on the big waters of the lower Colorado and Roaring Fork rivers. In the off-seasons Carter is frequently found fishing with his dad and brother in their Chittum Skiff chasing the snook, redfish and tarpon around in southern Florida when not sled-necking and elk hunting the backcountry. Carter keeps the energy level high on his trips and is well known amongst his fellow guides for always having the fly du jour.
