Ben Zander
Assistant Manager & Guide

....Ben Zander is Pacific Fly Fishers' Assisant Manager and you will find him helping customers, working on orders, and helping with our many fly fishing classes. Ben is also the owner and head guide of Sound Fly Fishing, a salt water guide service. He has developed a following of customers that take his advice on fishing Puget Sound for sea-run cutthroat trout and salmon and we attribute that to his willingness to help anglers, his enthusiasm for our sport and a sense of humor that is just plain fun to be around.

....Ben first learned the art of fly casting from his father and grandfather on the streams of Missouri and was later raised in our local Shoreline area. He has been fishing the waters of the Pacific Northwest for many years and considers Puget Sound to be his home waters. Much of his fly tying and fishing time is focused on the saltwater and he is constantly developing new patterns for sea-run cutthroat.

....Along with the saltwater, however, Ben also frequents the streams and lakes of British Columbia, Montana, Wyoming and Washington. His knowledge of the hundreds of small local lakes and streams is impressive and a good resource for us and our customers.

Things you'll hear Ben say:
    "Yellow Sally. The only fly you need is a Yellow Sally"
    "Mmmm... sea lice"
    "I've gotta go fishing... "
    "Oh, yeah... I've definitely gotta go fishing"
