Recently took a guided trip for some Cutthroats out in the sound and had a fantastic time. Dale Booher was professional,chill to hang with, put me on fish, and makes a mean tuna melt sandwich (which he caught). Below are some pictures that he took of me. Dale is awesome and he should be your guide.

Dave and the shop are top notch! Visiting from Atlanta and dropped in to get advice on where to go and what to fish. Caught plenty of fish on his suggestions near where we camped on the Columbia River. Like it so much I came back and bought my first pair of big boy waders before heading home.

I drove past EWA several times going to the post office to grab my grandfathers mail. He taught me to fly fish and tie fly's and rod's in the Black Hill of SD. I stopped in a couple years ago and I have bought a rod, waders, fly lines and fly's since. Great shop, knowledgeable employees.

Had a fantastic experience with the guys at the shop. I went in knowing nothing and Will set me up with a full kit within my budget, gave me tons of pointers, and an impromptu casting lesson. I'll definitely be going back for those eventual upgrades and guide trips.

We enjoyed our half day guided fly fishing. It was the first time for our teenage boys and they loved it! Matt was our guide and he was excellent. He tailored our experience to just what we were looking for and worked hard to get us a good experience!

I went out for a women's retreat weekend with Kristen from Emerald Water Anglers and had an amazing experience. It was a great deal financially and was exactly what I was looking for in terms of learning, instruction, and outdoors time with

This shop is great and the staff were awesome. I was in town for a friends wedding and was googling fly shops when I saw a clinic being offered by Dec Hogan. To my amazement it was the day after the wedding when I was going to be in town. I

I went out on a full day mountain creeks trip with Matt and had an absolute blast all day long. Matt not only accommodated my specific interests for the experience I wanted to have, but he also provided a wealth of knowledge and tips that

Emerald Water Anglers caught my attention as the most professional and informative fly shop experience I’ve ever had. The staff is extremely helpful and willing to go to any length to provide you with knowledge about Washington fisheries.

GUIDE REVIEW (folks at the shop are fab too!): Today, women are debating whether we should “bring our whole selves to work” or not, but Kristen long-ago decided that she’s 100% in. What sets her apart is her ability to read people just as

My review is mostly for Kristen and is long overdue. Last June I did the one-day womens fly fishing school and it was awesome. What I thought was going to be complicated and intimidating was fun and confidence-building due to her awesome

I am new to the sport but have fly fished a few times in the past. Went to a free casting event they hosted in West Seattle and all their guys/vendors were great! Awesome tips helping me with my cast and feel like they really treated me

This should be your go to fly fishing shop in the Seattle area. My first interaction with the shop was by phone with Caldwell. We spent a good 15-20 minutes talking and Caldwell explained the different course options (I am a novice fly

My dad and I went on a full day fishing trip with Matt two weeks ago. I can't thank Matt enough for making this trip such a success! My dad and I hadn't fly fished in over a decade so we needing to retraining. Matt provided excellent

I had a great time fishing with Emerald Water Anglers on Puget Sound for cut throat trout. My guide, Will Mahoney, was great at providing me opportunities for fish, was a real expert on local wild life, and also helped me work on my

Excellent service, everyone was super friendly and helpful and they set me up with everything I needed. Had never fly fished for trout but with their guidance I caught ~10 nice fish within an hour the first day. Thanks guys!

Cool little shop and friendly knowledgeable staff. Hooked me up with some flies on my way to camp in north cascade national park and they worked beautifully. Caught a bunch of trout off one of the lakes there.

Matt HOOKED ME UP! I bought a new 8wt rod that needed rigging for salmon and cutthroat. Got the flies I need and super friendly service. I’m a HUGE FAN! I’ll join the woman’s fly group when they meet.

Best fly shop in Seattle. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They do a great job of putting on fun events and making you feel welcome. Best sea run guides in Washington

Such an awesome store. Always incredibly helpful, kind, and knowledge. Well worth going out of your way to visit!
