John Lease
joined the professional guide team of the Worley-Bugger Fly Co. during the
2000 season. He
picked up a fly rod for the very first time in 1959 in the small town of
Cascade, Montana, over looking the Missouri River. As a young man
growing up in the Big Sky state, where trout are plentiful in the streams
and rivers, John perfected his fly fishing craft. |

John spent the days of his youth fishing for trout,
bass and pan fish all over the Big Sky Country. His father's
vocation lead him from Glascow to Ennis as well as areas around Missoula.

He finished high school in Seeley Lake, Montana in
1971.This was quite an accomplishment with the near by Big Blackfoot River
as an easy distraction. After high school John, spent 5 years in service for
his country and was honorably discharged in 1977.

In 1978, on his return
home to Montana, John stopped in the small town of Ellensburg, Washington
to visit a member of his family. Side tracked by the beautiful town and
abundant fishing, he has been a resident of the Kittitas Valley ever
since. John has proudly raised two daughter's and a son in this quite little
community. |

Lake Lenice, Lake Lenore, the Seep Lakes as well as Rocky Ford Creek
are waters John has chosen to spend the majority of time, fooling
fish on the fly. He is a Central Basin specialist and excels
as a lake fishermen.
John's time has also been
consumed perfecting his skills on the Yakima, as well as many
of the small creeks and tributaries of the system.

I can't say
enough about the work that John does for Worley Bugger. His
fishing proficiency, the study of fish habit and his talent and
patience to excel as a teacher in the art of fly fishing are
unparallel. His hard work and dedication to each and every
client is what sets John apart from everyone else. If you
happen to spend a day with John on the water, keep your eyes and
ears open. I guarantee you will walk away with more
fishing knowledge at the end of your day.
John is a
valued asset and a welcomed member of the Worley Bugger family.
