George Bahm
George grew up in the community of Teslin Yukon and is of Tlingit and European ancestry. A lifetime in the outdoors hunting, fishing, and trapping led to a guiding career in 1995. Shortly thereafter George started a fly fishing company and is still active teaching and guiding fly fishing. A passion for guiding and wilderness travel has taken him to many local adventures in Northern B.C., Yukon, and NW.T. as well as international destinations such as Nepal, Chile, and Belize. George began sharing his experience and knowledge with youth at Equinox Adventure Learning and continues to work with other organizations to educate youth in the outdoors.
George stays connected to his First Nations roots by teaching, guiding, hunting, fishing, and maintaining the family trapline on his traditional territory. George is certified in Fly casting instruction, Swift water rescue, Wilderness first aid, Avalanche awareness and is pursuing white water canoe Instructor level 1 certification as well as will be receiving Rediscovery leadership and outdoor education training for the 2010 season.
Certification in wilderness pursuits and traditional knowledge make George a strong asset to our guide team.
