About Floyd Carter

Floyd grew up fishing in Colorado but got hooked on swinging flies after a trip to Seattle. A chance encounter with Dave Mccoy of Emerald Water Anglers led to his first spey casting experience—in leaky waders! That moment sparked a three-year plan to move to the Pacific Northwest and chase anadromous fish.

He trained with Tom Mahan, learning the ins and outs of spey casting while exploring the Oregon and California coasts. After leaving Oklahoma, he saved up, went all-in on guiding, and took a chance on a new life.

His first big break came when he helped build a remote spey camp on the Togiak River with a "wacky bush carpenter." That led to his first guiding gig for King Salmon on the Togiak, where he also met Zack and Jordan Larsen.
