That's me above. I've been fishing the Pacific Northwest for the
past 20 years. I've done a lot of exploring and learned much about
fishing both the fresh and saltwater. After being a partner in
Streamside Anglers and Owner of Fishy Business I have an excellent
history of knowing the places to be and when to be there. I
recently have taken a course to get my Captains License and am now offer
trips on the Saltwater for Sea Run Cutthroat.
On the left is me, Tom Bolender. Mel Hurd as his bio says has been fly fishing for a long time. What his bio doesn't say is just how good at it he is. Mel's experience makes him one of the best people around to teach beginners what they need to know to become a successful fly fisher. Along with his guiding, Mel created one of the best Sea Run Cutthroat presentations in the state. He also put together a fantastic intermediate fly tying class that is unique and inovative. Give us a call and book some time on the water with either Mel or me and you'll learn why we think we're the best.
