Scott Pros
Joe Willauer
United States, Montana, Twin Bridges
Joe began fly fishing at the age of 12 with a fly rod inherited from his grandfather, and entered the fly fishing industry the weekend after he graduated from high school, as a shop rat in Ellensburg, WA. Planning on working the shop while he attended college, Joe quickly started putting a lot of time on the water (and enough in class) and after buying an old drift boat and an even older explorer was guiding the Yakima by the following spring. Steelhead fishing soon followed, and he began spending his falls swinging for eastern Washington's grabby summer runs and the Olympic Peninsula's giant winter fish. It took a masters degree for Joe to finally decide that he liked guiding and fishing much better than sitting in class or behind a desk, and he now lives with his wife and two dogs in Twin Bridges, MT, and returns to the steelhead rivers of his home state during the winter run.
Living in both Washington and Montana, Joe has had his hands on a lot of good fly rods, but chooses Scott for many reasons. The "feel" of Scott rods are what makes them the finest fly rods out there, but the attention to detail, excellent customer service, and fact that all Scott rods are made in America are all attributes that fall right behind the sweet casting strokes, and the reason he chooses Scott.
