About Your Guide

Owner/Guide Chris Gjovik

Chris is a retired police officer, dedicated family man, and lifelong angler who turned his passion for fishing into a calling. As the owner of In Pursuit! Guide Service, he combines decades of experience on the water with a commitment to providing safe, memorable, and successful fishing trips in the Pacific Northwest.

Family is at the heart of everything Chris does. He shares his love for fishing with his wife and two daughters, teaching them the same appreciation for the outdoors that has shaped his life. That same patience, integrity, and dedication he brought to his decorated law enforcement career now guide the way he leads every trip.

Having lived and fished in the Pacific Northwest his entire life, Chris has developed a deep appreciation and understanding of its rivers and fisheries. From quiet mornings casting at first light to the thrill of landing a hard-fighting Chinook salmon for the first time, he believes every trip should be an experience worth remembering.

Whether you're new to fishing or a seasoned angler, Chris is committed to helping you enjoy the adventure, build confidence on the water, and create lasting memories.

With In Pursuit! Guide Service, you're not just booking a trip — you're stepping into a genuine Pacific Northwest fishing experience led by someone who truly lives the lifestyle.
