About Your Guide  -  Michael Rischer

Michael Rischer has been living in Portland, Oregon for the last 14 years. He spent his early years alternating between homes in Seal Beach, California and Salt Lake City, Utah.  Both locations provided ample opportunities for sport and adventure.  Michael began fishing as a young boy with his father.  Freshwater, saltwater and fly-fishing were topics of many a fishing lesson from Michael's father, Carl, a lifelong fisherman and college biology professor/author.  These lessons gave Michael a solid groundwork on which to build his own fishing experiences.  Always the outdoor adventurist, Michael did not stop at fishing.  He found other ways to enjoy the outdoors he loved so much:  surfing, sailing, skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, windsurfing and kite boarding.  But fishing has always been a constant.

Michael is a prolific fisherman, targeting Rockfish, Lingcod, Flatfish, Chinook, Coho, Steelhead, Sturgeon, Bass, Walleye, Trout and Crab.  He is a member of the Hobie fishing team, Next Adventure fishing team, Stohlquist pro-staff, Daiwa fishing team, Yakima Bait pro-staff, Lamiglas pro-staff, Korkers pro-staff, Rat-L-Trap pro-staff, Fisherman's Marine pro-staff, KoneZone pro-staff, Lowrance pro-staff, GoPro pro-staff and Hobie Polarized pro-staff. He's also a member of the Northwest Kayak Anglers (NWKA) online kayak fishing forum, NorCal Kayak Anglers(NCKA) and Hobie Fishing forum and also enjoys competing and helps promoting local tournaments,

Currently, Michael lives within 10 minutes of Portland's three major rivers.  He can be found most weekends pedaling rivers and ocean for new fishing areas and educating other outdoor enthusiasts about the benefits and sheer joy of fishing from a Hobie.
