Matt
Nicol AKA:
Baker
Spokane, Washington
I
spent the first 22 years of my life living and working in Downtown Seattle,
never knowing the feel of fly rod in hand. Finally decided to go to
college across the state at E.W.U., all the while convinced that I would
eventually make it back to the big city... yea right! One three day
trip to the Big Horn and a weekend of bird hunting, and there was no turning
back.
After graduating form school I alternated work between a ski shop and a fly shop in Spokane. I'm currently employed at Eastern Washington University, living outside of Cheney, and married to a wonderful woman I've known all my life. Besides the usual rivers in North Idaho and Western Montana, I fish predominantly on the Spokane River and small spring creeks of Eastern Washington.
