Brendan Mason
Brendan Mason is a Canadian born angler who now lives in Seattle, Washington. Brendan has fished all of his life and started a passion for fly in British Columbia where he grew up. His father a search and rescue expert and his mother a teacher, Brendan has the brains and skills to both out think and survive longer than the average Joe Blow. Brendan has fished extensively for trout and salmonids but in recent years has attacked the saltwater with gusto. His travels have taken him to Australia, Mexico, Argentina and beyond. Brendan also has the distinction of catching a 600 lb Mako on fly while fishing San Diego in 2006.  You can often find him stalking carp in the shallows of Green Lake in Seattle.

Just after setting the hook, my rod doubled over and I knew I was into something bigger than the black rockfish we had been catching. I didn't let the fish take any line, and soon the big lingcod appeared under the boat. It wasn't until we lifted the net out of the water that the big ling spit out the rockfish that had eaten my fly. Strange things can happen out at Neah Bay!

Thanks go out to Capt. Chris Bellows from Topwater Charters!
