Long story short, I just like to Fish! if you want the long story, feel free to learn a little about me down below! My name is James Blair, I was born and raised here in the valley or what most consider Eastern WA. Life for me started out in the country on the outskirts of Buena, A small town just outside of Toppenish WA. Growing up, I was blessed to have Step-grandparents that stepped in to do there best as I lost both my parents to drug addiction by the time I was 10. My Grandparents put me through school and did there best to supply me with what a kid needed for the most part. A roof, food and clothing. I Graduated from Toppenish HI as class of 2016. Aside from everything, one of the best gifts they ever got me was life jacket, a fishing pole and a tackle box stuffed with 6 pack's of Rooster tails. With my care providers being older, I typically did stuff on my own, with a few trips to the lake's with my pop's on trout opener's I quickly found myself going back by-myself. I have walked Hundred of miles towards the I-82 ponds and the second I turned 16 with a driver permit to the river I went! My last couple years of High school, my grandparents had divorced,I was now my grandma’s muscle around the house. And unfortunately in March of 2015 She passed away in a car accident that left me homeless. Couch surfing till I graduated High school, I met my wonderful wife Monica Blair. During that period fishing was one passion that took my mind off everything my whole life, It has been and always will be my crutch to enjoy the beautiful life we are given! &nbsp;I made a ton of priceless memories growing up, teaching and getting my friends Involved into fishing. Becoming a guide was to continue those moments.
