ONE CAST CAN Change Your Life!

Fly Gyde is your gateway to the world of anadromous fish in Washington State; the lifetime achievement for an angler, the Winter Steelhead, and a fish known for its table fare anywhere fish are served, the Chinook and Coho Salmon. For over 10 years on famed rivers such as the Skagit, Queets, Hoh, and Humptulips, Captain Lael Johnson has led a team of guides providing unforgettable experiences to visitors from around the globe and to those who live in the greater Seattle area. Along with what we offer locally, for the traveling fly fisher, we host fly fishing excursions to incredible destinations such as British Columbia, Patagonia & Mexico.

In addition to our guide services, we have a small online fly shop offering the right products to pair with your fishery at home, while traveling abroad, or visiting us on the Olympic Peninsula or North Cascade rivers. Whether you purchase from another retailer or us, we want to offer our expert advice and set you up for the best day on the water possible!
