If you’re an angler in the Pacific Northwest—or anywhere with a love for fishing and a thirst for knowledge—there’s a good chance you’ve stumbled upon Addicted Fishing. Since 2009, this passionate crew has been on a mission to educate, entertain, and inspire anglers of all skill levels, sharing not just their expertise but their infectious enthusiasm for the sport.
What sets Addicted Fishing apart is their commitment to making fishing accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Their content covers everything from the basics—like how to rig up for trout—to advanced techniques for targeting salmon, steelhead, kokanee, and more. The team’s “how-to” videos, tips, and tutorials have helped countless anglers get started and grow their skills, always with an emphasis on responsible, sustainable fishing practices.
Addicted Fishing’s educational approach isn’t just about catching more fish; it’s about fostering a deeper respect for the resource and ensuring our fisheries thrive for generations to come. As they put it: “Sport fishing is good for your well-being. It encourages the healthy pursuit of outdoor passion, builds a strong economy, and encourages a focus on conservation”.
If you watch Addicted Fishing’s videos, you’ll quickly notice a familiar name: Mack’s Lure. From the legendary Wedding Ring spinner to the innovative Smile Blade and Sling Blade Dodgers, Mack’s Lure tackle has been a staple in Addicted Fishing’s arsenal—and for good reason. These time-proven lures have helped generations of anglers catch more fish, and the Addicted team puts them to the test in real-world conditions, offering honest feedback and practical advice.
Both Addicted Fishing and Mack’s Lure share a core belief: fishing is more than just a pastime—it’s a lifelong journey of learning, stewardship, and connection. Together, we’re dedicated to helping anglers not only catch more fish, but also become better stewards of our waters.
“We want to educate, entertain and inspire! … Our passionate goal is to share our knowledge about fishing and promote the sport-fishing community”.
