Mike Schmitz


Hi!  My name is Mike Schmitz and I run West Coast Outfitters.

Fishing Guide Services. I fish the rivers surrounding Forks and those only. You don't get to be a expert by fishing 20 rivers 4 times a year, you get to be a expert fishing 5 rivers 250 times a year.

I was born and raised in Forks and am a 2nd generation fishing guide. My dad moved to Forks in the late 70's and was a guide up until a couple years ago. Its really all I know.

Hunting Guide Services 

I would love to be your hunting guide for your next hunting adventure.  I am also a successful elk hunting guide and bear hunting guide as well.

I have a heated willie drift boat and a outcast raft for low water conditions. I provide all poles and tackle and all you need is a license, lunch and rain gear ... and don't forget the camera.  I can also accomodate group fishing trips.
