Tyler Barrus has been a fishing guide his entire working life and before then I’ll bet he was a fishing bum/hardcore addict. He comes from the majestic state of Montana where he guides for Crane Meadows Lodge by Twin Bridges. He has spent many years in South America guiding sea run Brown Trout and brings that two handed knowledge to the table. Tyler is the REAL DEAL outdoor enthusiast, believe me when Rooster and Tyler go hunting or fishing nothing is done half ass. He has been out fishing the OP every day during winter for five years now and we have finally talked him into justifying the means. I myself am lucky to just have met and fished with such an angler at the top of his game.
Joe Willauer began fly fishing as a kid growing up in Eastern Washington exploring spring creeks such as Rocky Ford and some lesser known not to be mentioned waters. While attending CWU and guiding the Yakima he began chasing steelhead. Joe has spent many days fishing Washington Steelhead Rivers with a focus on the Methow, Klickitat and the Olympic Peninsula. Joe graduated from CWU in the spring of 2006 and is now guiding some on the Yakima but mostly in SW Montana with myself and Rooster for the Stonefly Inn, Twin Bridges Montana during the summer. He has uncanny skills that most of us will never acquire.
Newly acquired pro guide is Aaron O’Leary, a Washington local who has quite the list of guiding accomplishments. Spending four seasons in Alaska has got him a head guide position at a remote camp in the Bristol Bay area. Aaron guides summer steelhead with me on the Columbia River tributaries in the fall and spends the winter and spring chasing chrome steelhead on the OP. He will be joining me for his fourth season guiding on Olympic Peninsula, an absolute master on the spey rod Aaron has been in the seat of a boat since age 15 and has traveled as far as New Zealand in a personal quest for all things trout. Aaron is on the fast track to becoming a world class fishing guide, with the patience of Jobe.
I met Rex on the Bogachiel river a few years back and we have been great friends ever since. He has recently retired from 3M corporation as a regional sales manager, where he also managed an over the top love for outdoor wilderness adventure. Every minute Rex has had away from sales work has been spent pursuing incredibly adventurous lifestyle. The owner operator of not one but two private planes one with floats, he used them tirelessly to get him to where the action is. Flying as a bush pilot in Alaska, operating a hunting camp for Brown bear to Doll Sheep, and fly fishing every great spot on the west coast is just the beginning to his passions. Rex is the only Spey angler I know that has caught multiple 30 plus pound steelhead, and one of recent on the Sol-Duc River in Forks. I am rewarded every day I get to spend with Rex and am very happy to have him agree to take care of some fly fishing clients. He has the uncanny ability to find steelhead and is possibly the craftiest spey angler on the planet.
Dan Leavans or Rooster as nearly everyone calls him has a position here not so much as a guide but as a friend and colleague. Dan has quite a presence on the river, everyone knows him as a fantastic guide and fisherman. It was inevitable that I ran across Rooster years ago as we fished all over SE Alaska during the same time period in the late 80’s and early 90’s without officially meeting. For all I know he may have been one of those crazy COASTIES that boarded our commercial vessel from a raft going 20 knots in high seas, that sounds like something he would do!
I have a great admiration for the man and look forward to guiding together through out the year be it fly fishing trout in Montana or Steelhead on the OP.
