In his early years Scott Carlisle visited a small fishery to see where the fish on his father’s ranch was coming from. He fell in love with the place and tried to find employment there. After being denied work there he went home and told his wife that one day he was going to buy the property. After purchasing the property and raising 80,000 pounds of fish a year the ranch closed down from government regulation. From there Scott developed the fishery into a sport fly-fishing ranch. Ironically Scott’s passion in life isn’t fishing- it’s cooking. He and his wife Cherie are gourmet chef’s having studied in both Italy and France. What they enjoy most is watching guests enjoy a good meal after a successful day of fishing.
