CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED
About the Founder
Ojai Angler Fishing Guide Service is proudly owned and operated by Marc Mitrany, a lifelong resident of the Ojai Valley and a passionate angler with over three decades of guiding experience.
Marc founded Ojai Angler with one simple goal: to share his geep knowledge, love of fishing, and respect for the outdoors with people who enjoy being on the water. What began as a passion quickly grew into one of the most trusted fishing services in the region.
An avid and accomplished fisherman, Marc has competed in numerous fishing tournaments and has extensive experience in both freshwater and deep-sea fishing. His dedication to the sport had taken him to premier fishing destinations throughout the United States and beyond, including Alaska, Louisiana, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Hawaii. No matter the location, Marc's approach has always remained the same - teach, guide, and help every angler have a successful and memorable day on the water.
Ojai Angler is truly a family-run business. Marc's wife, Amy, manages reservations and customer care, ensuring every trip is organized, welcoming, and stress-free from the first phone call to the final cast.
The next generation of Ojai Angler is already making waves. Marc and Amy's son, Corbyn, grew up on the boat, fishing alongside his dad from the beginning. By the age of 12 years, Corbyn was already earning Big Fish Awards and first-place finishes in local fishing tournaments, and after high school, where he earned a spot in the CIF track and field hall of fame. He officially joined the family team and applied for his guide license in 2024. His passion for fishing is as strong as his father's, and he loves nothing more than helping others hook into fish and creating lasting memories.
As Ojai Angler celebrates 30 years of excellence, we remain committed to strong family values, outstanding service, and passing our love of fishing on to the next generation of anglers.
We look forward to fishing with you!
Responsible Fishing and Conservation
Marc founded Ojai Angler Fishing Guide Service with the intention of sharing his distinguished knowledge and proven skills with fellow fishing enthusiasts - while protecting the resource that makes it all possible.
As proud members of the small-town Ojai community, Guides Marc and Corbyn strongly believe in preserving both the character of the valley and the health of its beautiful Lake Casitas. Conservation is not just a practice for the guides; it's a responsibility. They are deeply committed to catch-and-release fishing, teaching clients proper handling techniques to ensure the fish are returned safely and thrive long after the photo is taken. Protecting the ecosystem that sustains them.
Respect for water, fish, and all animals is at the heart of everything we do.
