We Support Wild Fish

At the Gig Harbor Fly Shop, we support Wild Fish. In Washington we stalk them from the rainforest to the beach and when we catch them we always release them and handle them with care. We also put our money where our mouth is when it comes to these fish. Over the past 10 years we have raised close to 50,000 dollars for the Wild Steelhead Coalition and the Coastal Cutthroat Coalition. If you support Wild Fish we recommend donating to these organizations. When you come across a wild fish please handle carefully and release them back into their home waters so that we can continue to stalk them for years to come.
