Raised in the interior of BC, Spencer grew up chasing trout on the lakes and streams near home. While attending the University of British Columbia, he spent as much time on the ocean and local rivers as he did in class, and soon after graduating took a job working at a fishing lodge on Langara Island, in Haida Gwaii. After cutting his teeth on the docks, he started his guiding career and never looked back. He has spent the last decade chasing salmon between Haida Gwaii and Prince Rupert, where he has called home for the last five years. When not on the salt water, he can be found in the Kispiox valley guiding guests into wild steelhead in the fall, and exploring the coast looking for waves and remote beaches to explore with his fiancé and dog.
