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.
