Matt Thornton: Fishing in Alaska and now guiding with NW Fly Fishing Outfitters
Matt Thornton will join us for our February Meeting at Hopworks to talk about fishing in Alaska. Matt has paid his dues learning the ropes fishing in Alaska. His knowledge and experience will help you have a successful trip when you go.
Matt also guides locally through NW Fly Fishing Outfitters on the Clackamas and other local rivers. He also guides on the Deschutes, Coast streams, Belize and is looking to expand opportunities in New Zealand.
More about Matt
Since I was a child, the wilderness has been calling. In 2014 I decided to answer the call as a professional fly fishing guide — 22 years after my father first taught me how to cast. I moved to Alaska and began the journey, exploring as much water as possible and delving into local knowledge, techniques and navigation. I’ve emerged as a competent licensed captain with a vast range of experience both in and out of the world of fishing, perfect for rounding out your next adventure. As long as you want to discover, I want to curate. Let’s answer the call.
