Now in his third season with Aleutian Adventures, Eli brings four years of guiding experience across Alaska—from Lake Creek to the Sapsuk, and now the Sandy River. Originally from Grays Harbor, Washington, he grew up fishing the Olympic Peninsula and still returns to those rivers when he’s not in Alaska. Eli’s known for his easy going style, love of the adventure, and the friendships built along the way. When not guiding, he’s working toward a degree in Environmental Science and Biology at Central Washington University.
