Rene is the consumate Captian. He can catch fish with the best of them, but he also provides a safe and fun experience in that order. Nobody puts more prep time into each trip than Rene. He works hard and has a long list of proven spots, and he'll give it to you straight away. If it could happen on the water, from finding a school of squeteague to mechanical problems, he's thought of it and is prepared with the right lure, fly, or boat part, whatever the case may be.

If you have fished with Rene, you no doubt understand how deserving the Orvis 2020 Saltwater Guide of the Year honor is.
