- Background
- Growing up on the lake, fishing has been my passion since my parents first put a rod in my hands. I used to spend my summers catching Yellow Perch and Bluegill off the end of the dock, but that quickly blossomed into different bodies of water, chasing big Salmon, Steelhead, and anything else our gorgeous state offers. As soon as I could (age 18), I earned my U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Credential and began guiding for Trout, Bass, Salmon, and Steelhead in Washington State and a few years later in Alaska for summer Chinook, Chum, and Sockeye Salmon. Washington State offers some of the most unique and beautiful water in the nation. Whether we fish for Salmon and Steelhead floating down some of our gorgeous rivers, or we jump in the powerboat to chase gorgeous wild Trout, Bass, or panfish, it is my goal to make your trip as fun and memorable as possible!
- Techniques
- My favorite style of fishing depends on what we are targeting. For trout or salmon in lakes, trolling is the best way to go. This allows us to cover ground and keep our baits fishing at all times. When it comes to rivers, our main style is float fishing most of the holes and runs, then pulling plugs through areas where it is suitable. There is nothing more satisfying that seen a float drain or a plug-rod get ripped out of the rod holder with a big steelhead or salmon!
