Carter Brown & Phil Thornton – Go Guide

November 28, 2023

Carter Brown & Phil Thorton have taken the guide booking space by storm with their software program, GoGuide.  Two guys that met in a university Entrepreneurial class with a very similar idea, these guys want to make it easier for both outfitters and clients alike. For outfitters, their goal is to simplify and streamline the management and scheduling process for their guides. For clients who want to book a quality guide, they provide a portal for review of possible trips, as well as a simple online guide booking process.


It was refreshing to sit down with these guys as they have a ton of great ideas and energy to add tremendous value to the fly fishing industry.
