Kirk has joined Cusack's as a guide for two summers along with his old friend, and fishing partner, Brian. He is also a Penn State University graduate who studied kinesiology and park and tourism management. He spends his winters teaching health and physical education, coaching volleyball, and hunting and fishing. He's been fishing for 22 years, catching fish in the streams of Pennsylvania and off the beaches of Florida; and his experience is evident in his skill and technique.

Brian has guided at Cusack's since 2008 and has fished various rivers throughout Montana and Pennsylvania. Graduated from Penn State University in 2009, Brian travels and fishes in his spare time. In the winter months of 2010 he is working as a fishing guide in Chile on the Cisnes river. As a skilled angler who genuinely loves the sport of fishing, his expertise and sense of humor makes his guiding style beneficial and truly enjoyable for the visiting fisherman.

As a sophomore at Pepperdine University, Dalton spent a semester in Shanghai studying Business Administration and returned to Cusack's lodge for his fourth summer as a fishing guide. With ten years of fly-fishing experience, he has fished in Sacramento, Calgary, and Argentina. His familiarity with Iliamna's rivers ensures that he'll help you find the fish and, if you need, help you hook them too.
