Dustin Gaines

Guide #30286

Dustin made the permanent move from North Carolina to the Livingston area over 20 years ago. After spending multiple summers working in Yellowstone Park and for the Forest Service in the West Yellowstone area, it was a perfect fit. It was during his summers in Yellowstone Park he learned to fly fish.  He enjoys sharing our local area fishing with clients, be it floating the Yellowstone or sight fishing on the spring creeks.  Dustin’s laid-back attitude, cheerful nature and patience ensure an enjoyable day on the water.  Besides spending time with his wife and 2 children, his passions include his dogs, fishing, and hunting. Dustin and his wife, Shannon also operate a hydroponic lettuce farm in the Shields Valley where he can be found in the off season.
