I can darn-near guarantee he’s the best guide you will ever fish with. His calm, cheerful, humorous demeanor is the first layer of the “Ralph Yusavage Experience.” He is simply professional and pleasant to be with and, in my opinion, that’s the most important thing. The second layer is his technical expertise and boatmanship, meaning, Ralph never had the boat out of position even once! He does it effortlessly, all while pointing out targets to cast to, backcast hazards, eagles, and takes/chasers. How does he do that!?!? He knows the fish, the bugs, and the river, so incredibly well and it shows. Which leads to the third layer: we caught fish. (Not critical, but it is the goal after all.) Being with Ralph is so wonderful, that if we hadn’t caught fish, it still would have been an awesome day. So catching fish was just the cherry on top….and there were a lot of cherries! Ralph has such an infectious enthusiasm for catching fish that when I had a chase or a take, there was excited yelling in the boat, not just from me. How fun is it to fish with someone like that!?! Thank you, Ralph, for an incredible experience on the Battenkill. You are truly the best!” -Parker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e29b0bcf969c2056967047b/1614788873335-WSXGQ9Z761Z1KVARY0T2/main%2Bimage.jpg Home - About Me I first picked up a fly rod around the age of 14. By the time I got my drivers license I was taking advantage of any chance I could to explore the waters around Saratoga. It wasn't hard to find and fall in love with the Battenkill. Many of my early lessons in fly fishing were taught to me by this beautiful and challenging river. After high school I enrolled in a NOLS/Orvis course which gave me the opportunity to fly fish for nearly a month straight; I was hooked. I thought I might have wanted to guide before this trip, now I knew I had to. I began my guiding career working at a lodge just north of Yellowstone National Park. Guiding mostly the Lamar valley in Yellowstone NP as well as some of the spring creeks of paradise valley. While the fishing was great, by the time August came around the smell of cigar smoke would become a pining reminder of home in Saratoga. Upon making the transition back east I started guiding for Orvis in Manchester VT and have done so for more than 10 years now. I love to fish everything from high up tiny brook trout streams in the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains all the way down to the Hudson River for small mouth, and everything in between. Whether you prefer to fish dry flies, get down with nymphs, or like stripping streamers; I love teaching the tactics and techniques of all facets of the game. My goal with any client on a river trip is not to just get you to catch fish but to teach you how to be a better angler. I was lucky enough to purchase the lodge property in 2020 and spent a few years in my off season fully renovating the house. It is now available for rent through most of the major short-term rental platforms and on our website through the “lodging” link. https://www.savageanglers.com/trips daily 0.75 2024-04-05
