Richard Wark
Richard was captivated by fishing 30+ years ago as a wee lad. Growing up in the South East he had plentiful fresh, salt, in, near, and offshore fisheries at his doorstep. He was introduced to kayak angling in 2002, and was off and running!
He’s since found his way to the rainy side of Washington State. Here he can be found pursuing everything from trout in streams and lakes, to ocean run salmon, to lingcod and halibut and everything in between! He’s also the Safety Coordinator for Heroes on the Water NWest Chapter, and instructs seminars at expos and retail stores. Richard frequently haunts northwestkayakanglers.com under the name Polyangler, or you can check out what he’s currently up to at
