Our Crew

Hey there! I’m Robert, co-owner and guide of Cutthroat Fly Shop & Adventures. I grew up and went to school in Dubois. I've lived in other places, but Dubois is my favorite. The best aspect of this place is the ability to get outdoors extremely easily. I was raised fly fishing and horseback riding out of the Absaroka Ranch. Guiding fly fishing and running the fly shop has allowed me to fully dive into the industry and is probably the most fun activity you can do in the Upper Wind River Valley. I enjoy adventuring around the area and hope to help conserve its beauty and resources.

Hiya! I'm Cheyenne, Marketing & Inventory Manager of Cutthroat Fly Shop. All social media, marketing, and most ordering for the shop go through me! I was raised in Buffalo Valley. I split growing up between Dubois, wrangling on my father's dude ranch (Triangle C Ranch) and Jackson, slinging popcorn at my mother's dinner theatre (Jackson Hole Playhouse). I moved to Dubois full-time in 2018, fell in love with an angler named Robert, and haven't felt much reason to leave since. Robert taught me to fly fish when I was 22; it's never too late to try something new. Fly fishing opened a door to be involved in the outdoor industry. I started working full time for the shop as my passion for angling grew and I am so proud to be a part of this industry!
