Bryan Glass was born in Montana and raised in Idaho. By the age of 3 his father had placed a fly rod in his hands and Bryan would never put it down since. His passion for trophy fishing began at the age of 11, when he caught his first steelhead on the Salmon River in Idaho. By 13, he witnessed his dad land a massive 15-pound Rainbow x Cutthroat Hybrid, further fueling his addiction to the hunt. At 18, he fully immersed himself in Trophy Trout Hunting, researching new fisheries and traveling the U.S. in search of world-class opportunities.

At 19, Bryan began his guiding career in Alaska’s Wood Tikchik National Park, where he guided a variety of species, including Rainbows, Salmon, and Pike. His passion grew as he worked on the Naknek River in Bristol Bay, one of the world’s premier wild Rainbow Trout fisheries. Over several seasons, he guided on 40+ rivers in Alaska and worked at four renowned lodges, building his respect for the craft of guiding.

After stepping away from guiding to work desk jobs, Bryan’s love for fishing and guiding led him back to the sport only a year later. In January 2019, he fished the White River in Arkansas for the first time which reignited his drive. Immediately after this White River trip Bryan quit his desk job and founded Wild Trout LLC, a guide service that would come to specialize in exclusive night fishing trips targeting wild trophy Brown Trout with mouse flies. He takes great pride & joy in offering an unparalleled experience on the mighty White River.
