David Ellerstein began his professional guide career in Ontario, Canada back in 1989, and has been a guide ever since. He has guided fishing, canoeing, and whitewater rafting all over North America. David moved to Jackson Hole in 1995, and founded Jackson Hole Anglers in 2001. His lifelong passion for guiding trips has helped him become one of the premiere guides in the area. David has passed his knowledge on to many guides and gets a great thrill from seeing others achieve things they didn't think they could do. David spends his winters as a ski instructor at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, where he is the Head Coach of the Jackson Hole Steep and Deep Camps and the 2011 Adult Ski Instructor of the Year. In his free time he runs rivers and fishes all over North America. David is an extremely patient and knowledgeable guide, capable of teaching the most veteran of fishermen something new. David has a relaxed approach to fishing, which means people will have a great time, regardless of what the day holds.
