Brazda’s Fly Fishing
Ellensburg, Washington
A guide service owned by Jeff Brazda, operating out of Ellensburg, Washington since 1998 and running year round. The company guides for trout, salmon and steelhead across the state: steelhead and salmon on the Olympic Peninsula, steelhead on the Klickitat, steelhead and trout on the Methow, and trout on the Naches in addition to its home river. Hosted travel takes clients to Florida for tarpon, the Yucatan Peninsula for permit, and Montana and Wyoming for brown trout. Lodging is handled through the Wild Duc Lodge and the Wild Duc vacation rental for guests on longer itineraries. The stated approach, summed up as fishing good water well, puts weight on conservation and river etiquette, and Brazda backs the guide staff with an offer of a complimentary return trip if a day falls short of that standard.
