I don't know whether it's the breathtaking North Cascades, or the lush green forests that line the banks of that glacial water, but guiding for me is as much about the beauty of the outdoors as it is the fish. My name is Nick Petosa and I am a fish-aholic. I have been fishing these waters since I could walk and have always lived in beautiful Skagit Valley. Right now I live in the small town of Sedro-Woolley with my girlfriend, Nikki where I spend most of my days fishing (surprise surprise!).

I have been blessed with the gift of fishing, as well as teaching others the joy that fishing brings. I knew that this is what I wanted to do from the very beginning; to share the excitement of a Salmon or Steelhead as it suddenly hits your line with unyielding force and you begin the game. Fishing is my passion because it is a challenge to experiement and see what works, and then the feeling that you get when you achieve success. I have devoted my life to showing others how to achieve that same success, and then to use and develop those skills as their own. If you see me on the river, please come and say hello. Happy fishing and Godbless!
