Derek Young, Owner, has cast flies around the Western US for the

last 15 years and lived in Washington since 1984 - with stops in Colorado,

Missouri, Texas, and Utah that have given him the opportunity to enjoy

some of the best fly fishing in the United States. The Yakima is Derek's

home water, and protecting and preserving the river is his passion. This

passion for sharing the river shows in his client's experiences and ensures

that the resource and beauty is there for future generations. Derek is a fly

fishing instructor for the Bellevue, WA Orvis location, and an Orvis

Endorsed Guide since 2009.
