THE LELAND TEAM

JOSH L FRAZIER

Josh is the owner of Leland Fly Fishing Outfitters, which he named after his grandfather, whose love of the sport was passed down to him through generations. Josh travels the world in pursuit of fish, but his favorite fishing holes are back at his roots in the small mountain streams of the Eastern Sierra.

KEITH WESTRA

Keith's love of fly fishing started on the north coast of California pursuing king salmon and steelhead. He is an expert in custom fly tying and prides himself in being able to match that "one of a kind fly." When not tying or working, you can find Keith chasing stripers in the San Francisco Bay and Delta or high-sticking for trout in the fastest waters he can find.

MATT PALUCH

Matt took up fly fishing on the mountain streams and lakes of Washington State.  Much of his childhood was spent night fishing for trout out of a float tube.  Matt works on our website during the week.  On the weekends you can find him fishing the local waters of San Francisco.

KARL KIRBUS

Karl brings with him a plethora of experience in fishing and fly tying from his 8 years in the industry. He is a certified casting instructor with the Federation of Fly Fishers and has extensive knowledge of saltwater and rigging. Karl's fishing mantra is "Heavy Line, Big Fly  . . .  Big FISH!"

RICHARD MONTGOMERY

After 25 years of fishing the flats and off-shore waters in Florida with light tackle Richard made the switch to fly fishing. His previous career as an aquatic biologist gave him the opportunity to fly fish most of the eastern seaboard. Currently living in Maryland Richard is our East Coast correspondant keeping us abreast of the False Albacore migration.
