NATE TURNER was born in MT and raised on the banks of Oregon's Metolius River. Nate has devoted his life to the pursuit of fish on the fly. Unless he's guiding the Lower Deschutes River for native trout and hot summer-run steelies, he spends the balance of his season exploring the rivers of the Pacific Northwest and Montana...living out of his truck and tying files by headlamp. "Tying flies in lieu of eating or sleeping often results in some of my most effective and creative patterns. Tie those flies and fish'em...you can sleep when you're dead!"
