Profile

I am 22 years old and grew up in Vancouver, BC. Fly-Fishing has been apart of my life since I was 7 years old. It all began on a family trip to Yellowstone National Park before I had ever known there was such a thing as fly-fishing. After some long days of not even having bites we stumbled across a man who was casting his fly for some rising cutthroat trout. I remember watching in awe at how he was flicking the line back and forth above his head and I became instantly drawn to the idea of trying it myself. Over the next couple months I begged my parents to buy me a fly-fishing set up. Of course they had their doubts whether I would become frustrated just trying to cast and give it all up. But I was so determined to try that I would go outside and attempt to “fly cast” with my normal spinning rod and monofilament line. At last my parents caved in and helped me purchase my first ever fly-fishing combo. Since that day I have been lucky enough to represent Canada at international fly-fishing competitions and become a professional guide for one of the most incredible fisheries the world has to offer.

    Photos and video by Chase White and Asher Koles /Often during a fishing trip the level of success can be gauged upon how many fish were landed or how many chances at fish were had. Is this really the only things we should be taking away from a fishing trip? Having the chance to work […]

    As the sport of fly-fishing grows in popularity the technology used to get out has progressed as well. Access to small rafts is cheaper and easier than ever allowing people to get out and go for floats. This means covering more water and being able to access sections of the river that might otherwise be […]

    Everyone knows that wow factor feeling you get when you see a beautiful location for the first time. The pristineness and seclusion makes you feel like you might be the first person who has ever stood in that spot. It’s a feeling many of us chase with every adventure we take. With the blooming of […]

    We all love and prefer dry fly fishing but if you fish 8 month a year for steelhead like we do it is inevitable you will need to swing tips.  Tips can be very difficult to manage as you want to be heavy but yet stay off the bottom.  You want to be deep in

    One of the most frequent questions I get asked about traveling somewhere is “what kind of clothes to bring”. Hopefully I can help shed some light on the problems created by being under prepared. Having the proper layers is essential. This allows you to maintain comfort throughout the varied temperatures of the day. Being a […]

    The Bulkley River is home to one of the largest summer steelhead runs in the world. This fact, paired with timing, creates a unique opportunity to swing at these fish in a multitude of conditions. As with any species, steelhead are directly affected by what’s happening with the water. River bumps up from the rain? […]

    At the end of a long guiding season I head to Central America for the warm temperatures and the allure of bonefish and permit. After spending the prior six months on the water every day trying to get my clients into fish it is finally my time to be on the bow trying to make […]

    From the moment I leave Smithers in early November until the moment I return in August I am always thinking about Frontier Steelhead Experience. Every season poses its’ own sets of challenges. Whether it is low tyee net counts to abnormally low water. We as fishing guides must be able to adapt on the fly […]
