Doug Rose Flyfishing

“Doug Rose combines the best of all possible worlds as a fly fishing guide.
His almost daily hunt, over many years, for Olympic Peninsula and Hood Canal steelhead, sea-run cutthroat and salmon means that he knows practically every nook and cranny of our rivers, streams and estuaries, and when and where they hold fish. His study of the biology and behavior of fish, and their food, means that he can always recommend an effective fly to use. His knowledge of our local history and culture make him an enjoyable companion over a day of fishing. His love of nature, his lyrical prose and his direct and descriptive style make his books and magazine articles an attractive alternative when a crackling fire replaces the raging Sol Duc or Hoh on a wild winter day.”
