About The Guide

Josh Burkhard

I am a New Hampshire Licensed Fishing Guide with a love for fast moving rivers and cold deep ponds. I fell in love with fly fishing as soon as I tried it and I’ve worked hard to distill my experiences into shareable skills that I’d like to teach to you. I completed my MBA in 2004 and crunched numbers behind a desk until 2018 when I succumbed to the realization that I would rather be in the river chasing trout. As a dad of 3 boys, I know the importance of balancing river time with home time and I can help you weave fly fishing into your life.

I have also honed my skills as an oarsman rowing a fishing raft and driftboat. These vessels allow any angler to access amazing fishing spots regardless of their ability to wade in the river. Anglers can literally stand above the water line in these boats and cast to any point on the river- hence the name ‘Walking on Water Fishing Tours’.
