Northwest Wild Country Radio Station

Wild Country co-host Bill Herzog sums it up best when describing the experience of fishing or hunting with a qualified guide: "You break the 10-year learning curve in one day". The guides and outfitters of the Pacific Northwest are a crucial part of the Wild County information web: we call on them throughout the week to keep us updated on the fishing and hunting conditions in their respective areas, and we use them extensively for ourlive, "on the water/in the field" updates. And, they're excellent resources for you, the Wild Country audience.

We've had the good fortune of working with hundreds of talented hunting and fishing professionals over the years, and are proud to endorse the following list of licensed guides and outfitters. We make these recommendations based on personal experience - we've fished or hunted with most of them - and qualified testimony from our associates and content partners. Check back here often: this list will soon include an extensive list of lodges and tackle shops, too. -J.S.
