Wild Willow Outfitters was a dream that Stephen Heath and Preston McKelvey shared for many years. Preston, a native of the Roaring Fork Valley, has explored the woods as well as the rivers that run through them since he could walk. Stephen moved to the valley in 2012 from his home state of South Carolina and soon after taking a job at a local resort met Preston. The two of them bonded over a shared passion for the outdoors and whimsically dreamed of owning and operating their own outfitting business. After serendipitously reuniting as fishing buddies, they decided to make their dream a reality and Wild Willow Outfitters was born. They are driven to provide an unrivaled authentic experience that educates clients on proper techniques, the importance of fishing and hunting conservation, while most importantly creating memories that will last a lifetime.
