Geoffrey Straight
Lead Fishing Guide
Geoff has been fishing since he could walk (claims his Mom) and landed his first rock bass at age 18 months. He has been a fishaholic ever since and was lucky enough to grow up in the incredibly fish rich region of Lake of the Woods in North Western Ontario. He worked as a forest fire fighter and part time fishing guide throughout the summers while completing a B. Comm degree at McGill University in Montreal.
After moving to BC nine years ago, he picked up a fly rod and fell in love with the sport. After meeting up with a few steelhead along the way he discovered his true passion for steelheading. Having the chance to explore and help pioneer fly fishing on the Bell Irving River in recent years has been a challenging dream. He has logged an average of 50 days each steelhead season during September and October guiding on the Nass River and tributaries. His guest’s safety along with maintaining a great local knowledge of the area are his top priorities to ensure clients have a great time and land some big fish.
During the off-season, he resides in Vernon, BC with his family and helps to run a busy helicopter skiing business.
