The outdoors have always been a form of therapy for me, and I hope to share that with our next generation. As a previous mentor in MFP, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing these kids take a love for fly fishing and continue to pursue it on their own.

Klamath Falls, Oregon
Growing up in Connecticut, Chuck gained a strong passion for fishing at a young age, even if it meant waking his dad up at 4:00am on a Saturday to go drill holes in a frozen lake.
He began teaching himself fly fishing at the age of 13. After a brief stint in the corporate world, he entered the professional guiding industry in 2016.
He now owns and operates an outfitter in Klamath Falls, Oregon and hosts trips to Alaska. In his free time, he enjoys mountain biking, backcountry skiing, waterfowl hunting, and backpacking.
Chuck sees guiding as more than just a job, but as a purpose. Guiding allows him to use his skills and passion to improve the lives of others, which led him to starting the Klamath Falls chapter of the Mayfly Project.

Raised in southern Oregon (rogue valley) I have been fly fishing for almost twenty years. I spend a lot of time fishing for steelhead with classic flies, but I have spent quite a bit of time around Klamath and farther East for trout in the summers. I am a self employed historic hardscaping contractor specializing in rock work and metal fabrication. My son is almost three and loves to go fishing and riding his bicycle.
Turner Wilferth, Mentor
Originally from East Tennessee, my formative years were spent in the outdoors. In 2021, I made my way West to chase fish, snow, and views. If you don’t see me on our local waters, you can almost certainly find me wherever snow is falling.
I joined the Klamath Falls project in 2025 after spending 4 years with the Boise, ID chapter. I have continually come back to TMP for many of the reasons why I love fly fishing. The challenge, the community, places you’ll go, skills you’ll learn, and so much more, are components to fly fishing that I love to pass down to our next generation of outdoors men and women who will hopefully carry on the tradition and share it with others as well.
