Scott Pros

 My pursuit of fly fishing has brought me all around the country and has landed me here in the Pacific Northwest, which I now call my home.  Based out of Seattle, Washington, I am a full time guide, FFF certified casting instructor, and retail manager for Emerald Water Anglers.

 

Fly fishing plays a powerful role in my life. It is a vehicle for adventure and discovery - the medium through which I channel my emotions, creativity, and passion.  No matter how many times I pull on my waders and lace up my boots, the excitement never fades.  Each day begins with fresh anticipation and ends with new insights gained.  I am perpetually driven by the quest to discover what lies around the next bend, and like most anglers, my time on the water is never enough. 

 

My constant pursuit of time on the water is what initially led me to guiding.  Since beginning my career as a guide, my passion for the sport of fly fishing has evolved in ways I could not have predicted.  After a short adjustment period, I quickly discovered that it didn’t matter to me whose hand was holding the rod.  The places and the fish are what originally captivated me about fly fishing.  And now, sharing this with others expands my perspective on the sport and elevates my own enjoyment on the water.

 

It is my goal as a guide, instructor, and Scott Pro Staff member to empower others with the tools necessary to make this sport their own.  Every angler holds their own unique perspective on life, and that perspective is manifest in how and why they fish.  As a professional, I offer a glimpse at what this sport means to me, and strive to help others discover what it means to them.
