Bellevue Store Manager: Reggie Harris
Reggie moved to the Pacific Northwest from Indiana over 20 years ago and has been an avid fly fisherman ever since. Reggie had always been a loyal Orvis customer and when Orvis opened its doors in Bellevue in 1997, he was one of the very first employees. While calling the Yakima river his home waters, Reggie regularly fishes the Deschutes, the Owhyee, the Methow, the Forks of the Snoqualmie, numerous Cascade Alpine lakes, the beaches of Puget Sound and many well-known rivers in Idaho and Montana. Reggie has an undergraduate degree in Marketing from Indiana University and a MBA from City University in Bellevue. He is committed to providing each and every Orvis Bellevue customer the very best experience when visiting his store.
Bellevue Fly Fishing Manager: Leland Miyawaki Leland began fly fishing in 1968 when he sent away for a complete flyfishing outfit. After receiving his new rod and reel, he laid down his spinning rod forever and began to teach himself to cast and tie flies. Exactly one year later to the day, he caught his first fish on his own fly. Leland has fished most of the streams and lakes in California, Oregon, Idaho, Washington; the well-known hotspots in New Mexico, Wyoming and Montana; the great steelhead rivers in British Columbia; and one well-guarded secret river in Idaho. Leland fishes and guides on the local Puget Sound beaches for searun coastal cutthroat with his surface fly exclusively – the "Miyawaki Beach Popper." He loves ditching his fleece and waders to fly south for bonefish and permit. He is a fairly accomplished speycaster and without too much of a push, would chuck it all and become a steelhead bum.
