Trout Bandits Guide Service is owned and operated by Tim Schut. Raised near Michigan’s blue-ribbon trout streams, Tim’s love of fishing started young. In 2014 Tim moved to Livingston, Montana, and attended Sweetwater Travel Company’s Guide School. For the past decade he’s worked full-time as a fly-fishing guide across Arkansas, Alaska, Michigan, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Since 2018 he’s been based on Arkansas’s White River, spending summers (July–September) in Alaska chasing large rainbows and salmon. Tim holds a U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s License, is CPR and First Aid certified, and has an FAA Commercial Pilot’s License.
