Fly Fishing in Sitka Alaska with Tad Kisaka

Tad has been fishing since Snoopy poles towered over him. He has fished all over the country, and even tested waters abroad. He was introduced to fly fishing while attending the University of Idaho. It was on Idaho waters that Tad became addicted to catching fish on the fly. While at Idaho, he studied overseas in Australia.

After his schooling was completed, Tad traveled around Australia with a backpack and fly rod in tow. The most amazing thing about Australia was that he never knew what was going to be tugging on the end of his rod. On his way back to the States from the land down under, Tad stopped off in New Zealand and fished for steelhead on the Tongariro River.

After receiving his degree in fishery resources, Tad traveled around the Northwest for three months hitting some legendary rivers and lakes. He then landed a biologist position in Vancouver, Washington and learned to fish the Columbia River for spring Chinook salmon, shad, and sturgeon. Fishing has guided him to some incredible places and has fostered some life long friendships.

Although, he has fished across the country, primarily in the Northwest, the waters around Sitka exceed the beauty and fishing value of the other places to which Tad has traveled. He currently lives year round in Sitka, and loves it. He has been fishing in Sitka, Alaska since 1999, and is familiar with all the different runs of salmon and the timing of trout and char species. Tad invites you to visit him to do some fishing, and he'll show you this magical place that he calls home.
