Guided fly fishing trips on the Yakima River and Western Washington lakes and streams. Unique Alpine stream trips are also available and are tailored for anglers looking to explore some of the state's more scenic and lesser-known water.

In western Washington, I guide rivers such as the Green, Cedar, Snoqualmie forks and small mountain streams, while eastern Washington trips are centered primarily on the Yakima River, one of the state's premier float fisheries.

Each trip is tailored to current conditions, skill level, and what you want out of the day—whether that means building confidence, improving technique, or simply enjoying a polished, well-run experience on good water.

Rods, reels, tackle, and flies are provided.

Before your trip, everyone in your group will need to purchase a valid Washington fishing license. You can buy one through the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife or stop by a local sporting goods store.

A few essentials to bring are sunglasses, a hat, bottled water, and non-spray sunscreen. Soft drinks are included free of charge, along with light snacks on board.

If you have any questions before booking, feel free to send us a message.

Fishing with David
Yakima River Full Day Float on April 4, 2026
I’ve gone fishing with David a number of times, and have a great experience every trip. David is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely patient, which probably came in handy during our first few outings. Not only has he gotten me multiple personal bests, but he has made me a better fisherman. Highly recommend booking a trip with him!

David's the real deal!
Yakima River Full Day Float on September 20, 2025
If you're looking for a fishing guide who genuinely wants you to have a great day on the water, book a trip with David! From the moment you meet him, his enthusiasm is infectious. He loves what he does and you can tell he truly cares about getting you on fish. David grew up fly fishing and gear fishing in local rivers in the greater Puget Sound region. This lifelong experience translates into an incredible depth of knowledge on both freshwater and saltwater species. From rivers, the sound, lakes, David knows it all. What sets him apart is the kind of person he is off the water. David volunteers for ski patrol and has donated time and trips to Trout Unlimited, Project Healing Waters, and Puget Sound Women on the Fly. This says a lot about him, his love for the sport, and passion to increase access to fishing. David's a great guy and guide, I highly recommend him and am fortunate to now call him one of my close friends!

Full day Yakima Float
Yakima River Full Day Float on March 1, 2026
Had a great day floating the Yakima with Dave. He was personable, friendly and so knowledgeable about the hatch, the water conditions and all the hidden little buckets along the float. He had cold waters and a cheerful smile. I landed my personal best Yakima fish on this float. I would highly recommend fishing with Dave.

First Float Trip Ever
Yakima River Full Day Float on June 27, 2025
I took my first ever fly fishing float trip down the Yak with David. The Clacka raft was a huge highlight but so was the guiding experience. There was a moment he was saying "the big fish have been in the slower water" and right on cue, I hooked into the largest fish I have ever fought in my life. Overall, I highly recommend the experience and look forward to my next float with David.

Float and Walk-and-Wade trips with David.
on February 15, 2026
I've gone on several float and walk-and-wade trips with David, and they have all been a great time. He is very knowledgeable and very eager to get you on the fish. If you're new to fly fishing, he is a great teacher.
