When he's not at a sport-show, writing, guiding, or running fish house rentals he can be found at home w/ his family or working at the hospital as a licensed sleep technologist...

Tim Ferch

Tim is great with people, and loves talking about the outdoors almost as much as he enjoys spending time in it! Tim works in sales and marketing, and can sell a minnow to the stingiest of walleyes. He's also our camera specialist. Tim loves muskies, and is great on family outings.

Jason Rylander

Jason is NCGS's main backup Bemidji fishing guide in the summer, and handles trips for everything from muskies and walleyes to panfish and mushrooms. Jason has extensive knowledge of our smaller bodies of water in the area, and specializes in helping clients dissect them.
