Guide
Stevie grew up near Vancouver with a highly questionable resume of centerpin fishing bait for steelhead. When he finally decided that he wasn’t looking for success while angling he switched to the starvation stick. Immediately a fan of fancy casts and a level of celebrity that holding fish on instagram can garner he teamed up to help start Epic Waters. Along the way he’s guided internationally and across BC and is lucky enough to reside in Smithers, BC in the heart of Skeena country. His background is in fish and wildlife and environmental science mainly so that he can end an argument he’s about to lose. Stevie manages the Bulkley Basecamp operation and would argue he does a decent job. Stevie’s favorite fisheries are those targeting tide fresh chinook salmon wherever they swim. If you’d like the opportunity to have someone remind you not to throw a cast in a tree or point out your 5th mend in a swing send Steve a message and join him on one of his trips.
