I’ve only got 25 days left for the Fall 2024 season on the Yakima! It’s booking up earlier than expected!
I’ll be back late August for Sept trip dates starting the 1st. I have left dates open for reschedules that didn’t get made up this spring. So that only leaves 25 days for bookings.
September dates: 1st-5th, 7th.
Cranefly dates are almost snapped up with September: 10-12th, 16th, 18th, 23rd, and 24th.
Prime October caddis Dates left are: October 1st-3rd, 14th-16th.
BWO and Streamer dates late season: October 21st-31st.
They are going quick and I’ve got several regulars that have penciled in dates so it’s time to start locking the fall down. And a Friday and a weekend or 2 reserved for reschedules.
Thank you all so much for your continued support and patronage. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone in the fall and hearing how the summer was. I also will be sharing my exploration of Michigan fisheries as I expand to new places.
It is because of you all, my clients and anglers, that I get to change it up, fish for myself a bit, and learn and guide a new area. It’s exciting, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity this life, this career, and all of you have given me.
I’ll be back for the Fall! See ya riverside anglers.
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.
