Fine&Far is a space devoted to chronicling California's North Coast through the lens of fly fishing while also providing a local fly fishing guide service that specializes in spey trips for steelhead trout.
Drew Griffith has been a devoted fisherman since he was a kid. He started fly fishing at the young age of ten with his father during family vacations to places like Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Colorado, and in his home state of Arizona. He lived in the midwest for several years where he fished for lake run salmon and steelhead and also spent time exploring the driftless region of Wisconsin, fly rod in tow. It wasn't until moving to picturesque Humboldt County in 2012 and beginning his pursuit of anadromous fish that he became fully immersed in the sport. He bought his first two handed fly rod shortly thereafter and has never looked back.
As a guide, Drew brings a wealth of experience and extensive knowledge when it comes to swinging flies for steelhead on California's rugged and breathtaking North Coast. Along with guiding locally in Northern California, Drew also spends his summers guiding for salmon and trout in the pristine and remote waters of Western Alaska. In addition to this, he also has several guide seasons worth of experience running steelhead trips in both Oregon and Washington state. He is deeply dedicated to the craft, the history, and the nuances of fishing, and consistently strives to ensure that you leave the river as a more skilled and confident angler at the end of the day.
