Mike Hamilton

Writing, fishing, and guiding are Mike’s priorities. Mike lives on the Westside (we don’t hold that against him) and often provides a PR punch promoting the Evening Hatch in feature articles and television projects – www.troutdogs.com.

Mike has been fishing the Yakima River’s 75 miles of catch and release waters for 15 seasons. His favorite single hand rods are the Sage Z-Axis 3 weight and the Z-Axis 5 weight. For a double hander Mike recommends Sages Z-axis, 8 weight 12 9’. His favorite waters are the Yakima, Methow and Klickitat. Outside of Washington state, Mike loves to fish the Henry’s Fork and South Fork of Snake.
