The Skeena River and countless others are very close to where he was raised, so fishing was a daily activity. When he was fourteen, his family moved to Williams Lake, in the Chilcotin area of interior BC. Rick spent a great deal of his time over the next few years on the area's rivers and trophy trout lakes fishing for anything that would bite a fly

Rick has lived in the Fraser Valley area for almost thirteen years now, and spent countless hours on the rivers in the surrounding areas of southwestern British Columbia. Rick has been guiding for eight years in the Valley, he is an accomplished Spey and fly caster and is always willing to pass on the knowledge. He remains as ardent about the sport and tying flies as when he was 12. The hobby became a passion, the passion became a business, and as always, the business remains magic.
Rick is now in his second year with the Harrison Bay Guided Services / Fred's fishing Adventures fishing team. He lives in Chilliwack B.C. with his wife Melanie, his two girls; two year old Noella and five month old Cora.
