Daniel leyderman

Founder and Head Guide of Coastal Trail Fishing Co., Dan found his calling on Vancouver Island after an extensive guiding journey across Canada. Starting out in Ontario, and migrating west across the provinces, he gained expertise in diverse fishing realms, from trout in intimate creeks, football sized smallmouth, to Trophy Pike near the Arctic and everything in between. With experience in four provinces, Dan brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Beyond guiding, he enjoys time with his dog Fisher, culinary adventures, fitness, and exploring remote and exotic destinations for...you guessed it—FISHING!
