William Hastings is the founder and lead guide of Hastings Fishing Co., a Wyoming-based fly fishing and outdoor adventure company serving the Greater Yellowstone region. After graduating college in Virginia, William helped open and operate a fly shop, gaining hands-on experience in the fly fishing world before moving west to pursue guiding full time.

For the past four years, William has guided in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, building extensive knowledge of the region’s rivers, lakes, and fisheries. He specializes in creating personalized trips for anglers of all experience levels, from first-time fly fishers to seasoned veterans. Offerings include walk-and-wade backcountry days, family introduction trips, and multi-day overnight fishing camps.

William built Hastings Fishing Co. around the belief that the best trips are defined by more than numbers alone. His focus is on providing a relaxed, professional experience rooted in patience, education, and respect for the resource. He takes pride in running a small, detail-oriented operation that prioritizes quality over volume and strives to give every guest an authentic connection to the water and the landscape.
