🔹️Pro Guide, Sean Flegg
As a child of an avid outdoorsman, fishing quickly consumed my spare time. From the Thompson River in the Interior to Eggmont on the Sunshine Coast I loved finding new places to throw a line. The Northern West Coast has been my mainstay for the last 28 years. I look forward to sharing my passion and experience with Wildfish Charters and their guests.
