I am starting the last 8 week push of the season before I head south for the winter.
I’m looking to book 8 to 12 more trips out of the remaining dates. I am working for that motor and trailer that will be going on my New Hog Island Saltwater Skiff! I am very excited anglers and every trip this fall makes traveling and eventually guiding Southern fisheries more a reality.
Everyone…all my clients have been and continue to make this trout bum guides’ dreams come true. I am always thankful for my clients support and patronage. It has been an absolute pleasure and hoot to guide full time on the Yakima these past 10 years. I am excited to continue my career trophy chasing trout on the Yak and guiding new states and waters over the next 10 years.
Thank you to everyone.
Hope to see you out there before I leave until April anglers. Dates below are open. Love to see you in the boat!
September Dates:
5th 8th 10th-12th 14th 18th 19th 25th – 27th 29th
October Dates: 2nd-4th 8th 11th-13th 15th 17th 18th 23rd
I have been fishing the Yakima River and its surrounding tributaries, creeks, and lakes for 10 years. I have been tying flies specific to this river for 10 years as well. I have guided not only the river but also many of the hiking and mountaineering trails in the area and fished some of the more remote lakes and streams. I love to fish the Yakima River and have been running my driftboat here for 5 years. I guide a little differently than the other services here and have a slightly different philosophy on guided fishing trips.
Its all about the experience, and while I can't promise there will always be cooperative trout, there will always be good times. I learned from some of the greatest anglers the Yakima has both on the water and at the vise and I guide to share and pass on that knowledge and expertise so others can enjoy this river as much as I do. I love to teach people to fish, I love to teach people how to read the river, and I love showing people the beauty and art of fly fishing. My service is a bit cheaper but that is because I have no shop taking a percentage.
I use a lot of my own fly designs and patterns that no other guide has and have spent the past 10 years fine tuning my tying and patterns specific to this river. I have flies, leaders, tippets, and fly rods and reels, and always welcome anglers to bring their own gear. If you need waders and boots I can arrange for a rental. I support my local fly shop for my trips as well as it is important to me that our local shops stay open.
When you take a trip with me it all about fishing and the experiences that happen along the river. I love getting my clients to have great moments with our trout here. Ask me all the questions you can, I want to teach as much as you want to learn. Whether you are an experienced angler or brand new to the sport I love sharing this river with people. I guide the Yakima River and many other secret waters in the area. When you give me a call I will ask you lots of questions as I want to make sure you have the best experience possible while chasing the trout we have here. Whether its a guided river float or a hike and fish, or a walk and wade to the secret places, I can help make your fly fishing experience memorable and fun.
Give me a call today and lets set up a time to go fishing.
