Captain Patric grew up in Eagle River, Alaska, and learned to fly fish on local stocked lakes. He started guiding the summer he graduated from high school on the Talachuitna River west of Anchorage. Since then, he has guided trips throughout Southcentral Alaska, worked as a fisheries technician for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, earned two degrees, and he now owns a small gillnet vessel which he uses to commercially fish for Salmon. As a young adult, Captain Patrick devoted much of his time to learning as much as he can about the natural and human history of Southcentral Alaska, especially the fish and fisheries here. When he's not fishing, the captain skis, rides mountain bikes, flies airplanes, and works in high schools throughout Anchorage as a science and math teacher.
