Logan Warren
Hi, I’m Logan Warren, and I’ve had a pair of oars in my hands for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents owned an outfitting business on the Middle Fork and Main Salmon rivers in Idaho. I was fortunate to run the Main at just 18 months old, and I was 6 years old when my parents took me down the Middle Fork. I’ve been guiding full-time for 10 years, though I’ve been rowing boats on my own for 16. My dad gave me my first raft at age 10, and I ran the Main Salmon by 11 and the Middle Fork by 15.
After high school, I attended the University of Idaho and graduated with a degree in Wildlife Resources. It was during college that I met my wonderful wife, Saydee. Over time, I’ve been transitioning out of full-time guiding. Currently, I work as the lead boat repair technician at Northwest River Supplies. I’m lucky to work for a company that gives me the flexibility to take 3-5 weeks each year to continue guiding. One of the highlights of my year is the October Rogue trips—without a doubt, one of the best trips in the lower 48! Between the great fishing, beautiful scenery, delicious food, and exciting whitewater, it’s an unforgettable experience.
I look forward to seeing you in the front of my boat this season!

Andrew Edson
Hello my name is Andrew Edson. I am from Twin Falls, Idaho. Most of my time is spent outside whether on a river or in the backcountry. I have been guiding for 10 years most of my career on the Middle Fork of the Salmon and Selway rivers. In the wintertime I am a ski patroller at Sun Valley along with being an backcountry skier and snowmobiler. I also enjoy a good nap and some good music. The guest are truly why I keep coming back!

Avery Hiron Stansberry
I was born and raised in Salmon Idaho, and spent my childhood exploring the surrounding mountains and rivers. My first time down a wild and scenic river I was 12, but it wasn’t until I was 15 did I start working for a local outfitter. Since then guiding has been a rewarding occupation I have returned to each summer and fall. I graduated from Montana State University in 2021, and have enjoyed the last few winters skiing and fishing around the world with some incredible friends. I am very excited to get to know the Rouge river this season, and guide with some excellent people I've had the pleasure of knowing for some time now!

Ryan Helfrich
I am a 4th generation Helfrich guide. I’m lucky enough to have grown up into a family with a rich history of boating and fishing. It is safe to say fishing runs in my blood. Currently, I reside along the banks of the McKenzie River in Springfield Oregon.
I graduated from the University of Oregon with a bachelor’s degree in environmental biology. Go Ducks! When I’m not guiding, I still spend my free time in the outdoors fishing and hunting. I look forward to getting you out on the water!
