Michael Mitchell was born in 1975 in San Diego, California. At the age of 5, Michael’s father, an outdoorsman, realized California was not where he wanted to raise his children. They uprooted and headed for the wide-open spaces of Idaho—specifically the Big Lost River Range. The nearest neighbor was a mile away, but the river was closer. With the Big Lost River only a short bike ride away from Michael’s house, it was no wonder that he fell into a deep passion for the river and fishing. He spent any time he had fishing with his old Zebco “Snoopy Series” fishing pole and tackle box. It didn’t take long for Michael to outgrow that rod and reel and beg his parents for a new and better setup. By the time Michael was in his early 20’s, he was introduced to and had developed a deep fixation for fly fishing. Michael is a fourth-generation mason now living in Hailey, Idaho. In 2012, Michael guided on the Aniak River in Alaska while the US economy and construction were slow.
