Daniel B Hubbard       "EddyRider"
Lead Guide & Owner, Anthracite Outfitters
Licensed PA Guide, USCG Licensed Captain

Dan started fishing in grade school with a surf rod on the  Jersey Shore and has been fishing for the last 30 years.   He has fished from the distant lakes of Northern Quebec, to the US Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Israel and many places in between for a variety of species including Striped Bass, Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Bonefish, Redfish, Sea Trout, Large and Smallmouth bass, Walleye, and Northern Pike.

Dan is also an accomplished outdoorsmen and paddler who spent his youth in the waves of the Jersey Shore and in the mountains and rivers of Pennsylvania where he gained a respect for the environment and the challenges and joys that it can provide.

He started this business after years of kayak fishing and the desire to share his love for the sport and his experience with others.  Dan feels the Susquehanna River is one of the most consistent fisheries in the northeast, and that kayak fishing this river is the greatest way to experience and preserve this beautiful resource. 

Hank  Hewitt     "FishTank"
Flyfishing Guide
Licensed PA Guide

Hank began fishing at age 5, having landed his first trophy largemouth bass by age 11,  he then started fly-fishing for trout with his own flies on the local rivers here in Northeastern Pennsylvania at age 12.  Throughout his angling career he has successfully targeted most freshwater species of fish in NEPA like trout, largemouth and smallmouth bass, channel catfish, walleye, pickerel,  and musky.

By age 25 he realized trout didn't speak Latin, and went to the salt with a kayak and fly rod and over the last 12 years has successfully targeted many saltwater species from striped bass, weakfish, bluefish to flounder and fluke from his kayak and the surf.

Hank is a professional photographer and a brilliant fly designer who is highly respected for his patterns in the salt and sweet water fly fishing communities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.  His brilliance is not lost behind the eye piece of a camera  where he produces images with the same passion and artistry as his flies.

While his focus, and often preference, is to the fly rod, he is equally proficient with spinning and casting reels, as well the use of artificial lures.
