Bo Wiltshire
Trip Leader

Bo Wiltshire is an Austin, Texas native. Fishing and hunting at a young age served as a stepping stone to what is now his deep appreciation for experiencing all the outdoors has to offer.
He has been participating in the Fish For Change program since the summer of 2016, and is now one of our Student Leaders. Helping guide students through the program and knowing firsthand what they’re experiencing is a unique opportunity that Bo takes great pride in. He is an Eagle Scout that is currently studying in the Honors Business program at Colorado State University. With home being in Texas and school being in Colorado, Bo has opportunities to target anything from trout to bass to redfish – all with a fly rod. |
Mason McPherson
Trip Leader
|
Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Mason grew up fishing for bass on local ponds.
After a couple summers in Colorado and a year of guiding in Montana, fly fishing became a passion and a priority for him. Mason studied Marketing and Spanish at the University of Oklahoma, and is now pursuing his Masters in Business Administration. Mason’s previous experience with nonprofits, traveling, and the outdoors inspired him to dive into Fish For Change and experience it firsthand fishing for baby tarpon in Campeche, Mexico. He hopes to continue using fly fishing as a platform for conservation, leadership, and teaching the future generations on the importance of protecting our ecosystems. |
