Patrick Kent
Professional Fly Fishing Guide



A Seattle native, I have been chasing the fish of the Pacific Northwest since my hands were big enough to hold the rod.  All thanks to my Dad and Grandpa, I grew up challenging the illustrious fish of this region by the art of fly fishing.  Whether it was a family fishing trip to the fisheries of the Cascade Mountains, or even just a little one on one time with the flows of the Yakima, I found myself in heaven.  I grew to love it. 

Having a family full of fly fishermen, I was taught at an early age that fly fishing is much more than the excitement of hooking into a hog, or catching more fish than your Uncle Ron. Fly fishing is the experience as a whole, it is the beauty that surrounds you as the fish takes your fly.  With that said, I do love to catch the fish.  There is something about hooking a fish by the fly that you cannot experience anywhere else, and it is that feeling that adds to the beauty.

Outside of my life in the Northwest, I attended college in Denver, Colorado at Colorado Christian University and pursued a degree in Business Administration while competing as a NCAA College Golfer for my university.  Golf continues to be one of my passions and if it weren’t for golf I would not be where I am today. 

And today I am a fly fishing guide in the one of the most wonderful places on earth, Washington, giving me the opportunity to indulge in my passion for sharing with others the great sport of fly fishing!

"Yesterday was a good time...Patrick was really helpful and I learned a lot that I now need to practice.  Do you have recommendations for a good shop/person I can talk to to get some gear?"

Hi Dave,

I just had my intro session with Patrick today and it was wonderful! He is really great and I learned a ton. I think I am going to have a new addiction...
