Dress in layers and be prepared for changing weather. Waterproof boots and a rain jacket are always a good idea in the Pacific Northwest.

About the Captain

Hi, I’m Thomas. I’ve been fishing since I was a kid, and the Skagit River has always been one of my favorite places to spend time. There’s nothing like being out here, surrounded by the beauty of the water, the fresh air, and the excitement of waiting for that big catch to hit the line.

When I’m not guiding, I work as a career firefighter. It’s a job I’m proud of and one that has taught me the value of hard work, patience, and looking out for the people around me. Fishing has always been my way to unwind and reconnect with what matters most.

My wife and I have built our life here in the Pacific Northwest, and we feel lucky to call this place home. Whether it’s early mornings watching the fog lift off the river or winding down after a long day outside, spending time in nature has always been a big part of my life.

Over the years, I’ve gotten to know the Skagit inside and out—where the fish like to hide, what they’re biting on, and when the river really comes alive. Whether you’re after salmon, steelhead, there’s always something to look forward to on the water.

Whether you’ve been fishing your whole life or you’re just getting started, I’d love to share what I’ve learned and help you make some great memories out here. Let’s head out and get some lines wet and go after that fish you have dreamed of catching. I would love to take you, your friends and coworkers on a fun filled guide trip with River Run Guide service. "Tight Lines" everyone!
