Hugh is USCG licensed, insured, and bonded owner/operator of True North Outdoors. From an early age a passion for the outdoors, a strong work ethic, and an incessant curiosity for adventure in fishing was instilled in him by his father, a fisheries biologist. Fishing is a way of life that offers Hugh endless joy through a creative pursuit of the elusive and challenging, but attainable. There’s peace in connecting with the rhythm of a tide and the seasons of nature. Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world and a deeper immersion into it. These PNW experiences and natural resources are for you, all ages and walks of life, to relish, revere and conserve. Hugh feels a sense of fulfillment sharing with you the knowledge and skills to achieve these rewarding life experiences.

Hugh is honored to have been a featured author for Salmon & Steelhead Journal, as well as a host of fishing seminars in the PNW community. He is a devoted husband and father of two wonderful boys; raising his family to love and cherish the outdoors for generations to come.

Excellence in service, integrity, safety, and expertise are the professional values he provides his clients on and off the water.
