My name is Bob from Tumwater, WA. Lifelong fisherman. Dad was a fishing addict and I got to tag along all the time. Went to work for Herters (old timers will remember Herters) here in Washington right after College. Worked my way up to fishing, boating, and archery department manager. Was fortunate to grow up on a Bass lake in the middle of Trout, Steelhead, and Samon paradise. So I learned to fish multiple species. I built my first rod in junior high, Dad was a master rod builder during the Dale Clemons era so I was able to grow my building skills from him also. Have been tying flies since my Herters days and enjoy the fly fishing opportunities of the area around home and a few trips to Yellowstone and other blue ribbon destinations.
