OUR STORY

A premier guide service on Washington’s Yakima River, owned and operated by Zach Lindor. Born and raised in North Bend, WA, Zach grew up with the south fork of the Snoqualmie river in his back yard and started fly fishing it at the early age of seven years old. His love for moving water only deepened when his father purchased a drift boat and introduced him to the Yakima River — where Zach first learned to row and began developing the guiding instincts that define his style today.

Meet Zach Lindor

After earning a Finance degree from the University of Montana and spending time in the software consulting world, Zach eventually followed his heart back to the water to pursue fishing full time. Fly fishing has taken him across the globe — from the rivers of Montana and Alaska to the wild waters of New Zealand, Argentina, Mexico, and beyond. Each place deepened his connection to the sport. In Bristol Bay, Alaska, Zach chases wild sockeye salmon each summer, gillnetting from the very boat he started on as a greenhorn — a vessel he now proudly owns and operates.
 

Based in Cle Elum, WA, Zach guides anglers on the Yakima River, Klickitat River, and the forks of the Snoqualmie River. He loves working with anglers of all skill levels and tailors each trip — whether it’s someone picking up a fly rod for the first time or a seasoned pro looking to fine-tune their approach. With a lifetime of fly fishing experience, a deep respect for the rivers he calls home, and a calm, dialed-in approach, Zach offers anglers a rewarding and authentic experience on the water.
