Founder

I’m Travis Netzel, a lifelong Oregonian who grew up in Troutdale with a rod in hand and the rivers of the Pacific Northwest as my backyard.

I caught my first steelhead on the Deschutes River at just six years old, and I’ve been hooked ever since. From swinging flies with a Spey rod to running gear setups, I love every style of salmon, steelhead, and trout fishing our waters have to offer.

With decades spent learning these rivers season by season, my goal is to share that passion, knowledge, and experience so you can have an unforgettable day on the water.
