Guide

Mark Shannon

Operator since 2018
From a young age, I've been captivated by the waters of the west coast, starting with the thrill of catching Cutthroat Trout in creeks. As I honed my skills, I transitioned to fly fishing for Steelhead and Salmon in the pristine rivers, and eventually to mooching and trolling for Salmon in the expansive local waters. I'm driven by an unquenchable passion for fishing and a deep love for sharing these exhilarating experiences with others. Ready to plan your next adventure? Join me on a journey you'll never forget!
