Aron was born in
Kittitas County and grew up in
Roslyn,
Washington in an outdoor family lifestyle,
fishing and hunting throughout his childhood. Roslyn, is a small 1800’s
mining town, located northwest of Cle Elum, where
hardened miners staked there claims in gold,
silver and coal.
This small town was made infamous from the
1990’s television show “Northern Exposure”. Most people living in and around the
Pacific Northwest
are most familiar with the Brick Tavern located
on the corner of the main street in Roslyn,
where locals like to congregate to cool off in
the summer and warm up with a good drink in the
winter months.
Aron avidly pursued fly fishing from a very
young age and honed his fly fishing skills on
the
Yakima River
as well as many of the smaller tributaries that
feed the blue ribbon stream. Like most of us,
Aron was mentored in his fishing and took to it
very naturally as a young man. While growing up he spent many summer days in the wilds of Montana on a family ranch, where trout fishing is available in just about every direction imaginable. Their were many rivers,
streams, creeks and beaver ponds, where a young boy could fly fish to his heart content and the trout come readily to a fly.
In the early stages of his adult life, Aron
changed directions in his professional career as a steel worker and welder and journeyed to the North Country of Alaska to guide
fishermen from all over the globe at the Fishing Bear Lodge . Here, a traveling fly angler can present flies to a variety
of fish like Arctic Char, Sockeye Salmon and
large Rainbow Trout as well as Artic Grayling and
Northern Pike.
Aron honed his guiding skills and assumed the daily challenges of oaring
and safely maneuvering a jet boat through the untamed wilderness rivers of Alaska. Aron spent five
seasons on the rivers of the north, guiding
fly fishermen on some of the most spectacular rivers, streams and lake systems in the state of Alaska. WBFC now offers hosted fly fishing travel to the Fishing Bear Lodge each summer. Aron
Larsen and Steve Worley, host eight fortunate fly fishermen as they travel to the remote edges of the Bristol Bay region of Alaska. Here you spend a week of fly casting to some of the largest
freshwater fish you will ever see in your fly fishing career. It is an amazing trip and one that Aron looks forward to every year. Visit the WBFC hosted travel page for more
information on this fantastic fly fishing trip to the "Last Frontier" of Alaska.
Each spring, Aron also hosts a group of traveling anglers to one of the ultimate saltwater destinations in the world,
Christmas Island. Here, an adventurous fly
fisher will indulge in a week of saltwater fly fishing, walking the flats of the island, while sight fishing for bonefish, milkfish, Giant Trevally, Triggerfish and Barracuda. For many fly anglers,
Christmas Island is on their list of places to visit and is a popular and safe destination to travel to and pursue a variety of saltwater species with a fly.
Aron is a family man and has been married for
over ten years to his wife Cheryl. They have two
children and one grandchild. Aron is a master fly tyer and has created and crafted, many unique fly patterns for trout, bass and other freshwater species.
I am confident in
saying, you will find fishing with Aron a
rewarding, fun and worthwhile experience. Most likely you and your fishing partners will become a welcome site in his boat on
a yearly basis, no matter where our fly fishing takes
you. If you would like to fish with Aron for the
day, please make that request when booking your
guided trip with us. The majority of our guiding
business is from repeat customers that return to
fish with us each and every year. Thank you for your
business.
