Fishing with his father at a very young age, Matt has grown up on the Lewis River. At the age of 11 he was running the river by himself learning each fishery the river has to offer to expanding his knowledge learning other techniques from other guides deckhanding during summer break. Matt uses tried & true techniques but is also constantly experimenting with new ways to catch more fish. He not only fishes the Lewis River for salmon and steelhead but also the Columbia River from Longview/woodland area to the gorge above bonneville dam chasing spring chinook. Matt provides his clients with a quality fishing experience with lots of insight on the water they are fishing, and how to catch more fish.
