Anthony Marrese
United States, Washington, Ellensburg
Growing up in Bellevue, Washington, Anthony always found any opportunity to fish on his home waters of Lake Washington. Anthony started fishing when he was three, and he first discovered fly fishing when he was nine. That same year, he also started taking tying classes, and fly tying has remained one of Anthony’s passions. Anthony decided to attend Central Washington University so that he could be near the Yakima River, and he graduated with a biology degree in 2015. While in college, Anthony found a home, and became the head guide for the Worley Bugger Fly Company in 2014. He guides primarily for trout on the upper Yakima; however, he can also be found throughout the Columbia basin guiding for warm-water species. With the Worley Bugger, Anthony had led river clean ups and other community outreach events.
Anthony fishes over 200 days a year, whether guiding clients or sharing his passion with friends and family. Anthony also organizes annual trips to Yakutat, Alaska, and he enjoys cooking the salmon he brings back for his family. Anthony also loves to fish for northern pike in Minnesota, but really, he will fish anywhere with anyone, as long as they are happy to be on the water.
