It has been said that Gary Loomis exists because of Salmon and Steelhead. A fanatical angler, Gary was not satisfied with the fly fishing rods available for trying to reign in the Steelhead run on the Kalama River in Washington State.After several years of making his own rods and having success with the fighting Steelhead on the Kalama River, word caught on and everybody wanted a Gary Loomis Fly Fishing Rod. In 1982, Gary started his own company, G. Loomis, Inc. making rod blanks for serious fishermen.
Today, G. Loomis makes high performance graphite rods for trout, steelhead, bass, walleye, salmon, steelhead, bonefish, tarpon, redfish, etc,, etc.
In 1997, Gary's company was purchased by Shimano. Gary still works for the company and tackles salmon fishery issues with his conservation group, Fish First, launched in 1995. In June of 2005, Gary recieved the Future of Fishing Award from the American Sportfishing Association.
