My passion for fishing is being a part of others catching fish
From fishing with others and teaching myself I learned nearly all aspects of fishing in rivers, tidewaters and ocean. Some of those techniques include: Side Drifting, Float Fishing, Back Bouncing, Back-trolling, Pulling Bait, Trolling Spinners/Herring, live bait fishing, Jigging, and Hover Fishing. I also have over two decades of experience in saltwater fishing. I successfully charter for Albacore Tuna and Salmon, run downriggers, and mooch for Salmon and bottom fish
With my documented time on the water, and schooling I currently hold a 50 Ton Master upon Near Coastal waters License from the United States Coast Guard. This allows me to safely run power driven vessels for hire on all Federally Navigable Waters. I'm also First Aid/CPR Certified, insured, licensed Seattle steelhead fishing guide, and Washington salmon fishing guide, and always run my trips with safety in mind.

This why I do what I do
As a Washington State fishing guide have been fishing for Steelhead and Salmon for over 33 years and as you can tell...this is my passion. Being a part of someone else catching there first Steelhead or Salmon or maybe the biggest fish of their life gets me excited too. I am a people person and I love to coach my fisherman and women as they are fighting their fish and to see that look on there face when they finally land it... that's why I am a Seattle Fishing Guide!

One of my greatest joys is helping people catch fish
I have been fishing in Washington State for over seventeen years and Washington fishing guide for almost 8 years. I have fished in many parts in the world from Hawaii to India, if it swims, I have tried to catch it and there are a lot more fish to be caught. Fishing is not just a job or a hobby for me, it's my passion. I have always loved fishing since I was a small boy. I like everything that fishing has to offer. Whether it's the natural beauty of the rivers and forests of Washington, or the thrill of catching a new type of fish. I also love helping people catch fish they have never caught before or may have never been able to catch on there own. One of the best things for me as guide is to see the look on some ones face when they hook in to there first wild steelhead, or there first big salmon or trout. The look on there face and the thrill that they get is what great memories are made of, that goes double for young kids.
