Meet the Team

Peter Lemman - Owner

Pete is a lifelong fisherman who, with his family, built North Coast Electric from a very small business, to one of the largest family owned business' in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.  Pete started to fish with his dad at age 5 and had his first trip to Cabo in 1963 at age 10.  Pete worked as a deckhand while in college in S. Ca. and moved back to Seattle in 1975.  He got the fly fishing bug hard and has fished all over the world, including the Zambezi, the Amazon, and Christmas Island.  He looks forward to doing more trips in the future.  Pete was fortunate that Jimmy LeMert sold him Patrick's in April, 2018.  Jimmy had owned Patrick's for 32 years and wanted to continue the tradition of an outstanding fly shop in the city with the most knowledgeable staff and product selection in the Northwest.  We have made some changes but the tradition are the same and selection and inventory is better than ever.
