FLYLORDS - BEHIND THE GUIDES

Meet Lael Paul Johnson, a fly fishing guide based in the Pacific Northwest that specializes in guiding two-handed fly fishing for anadromous fish like steelhead and salmon. Lael is an extremely passionate guide and angler that has a never-ending drive to pursue hard-to-catch fish like the elusive steelhead and salmon of the Pacific Northwest. We decided to head to the state of Washington to spend a couple of days with Lael and experience the rivers he guides firsthand.
