			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Todd Harrington Joins The Big K as Director of its New Fishing Program</h2>
<p>The Big K has teamed up with Todd Harrington’s Living Waters Guide Service to expand its fishing services. Harrington will serve as Director of The Big K’s new fishing program, which now offers year-round <a  href="http://www.bigkoutfitters.com/">guided fishing trips</a>, scenic jet boat rides and rafting trips through the famous Umpqua River Loop, the most scenic and secluded stretch of the Main Umpqua River.<br />
<img class="pie-img alignleft" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_q6i9EmN5fFA/TNGatgA2eaI/AAAAAAAABSA/cNaPwyXBMqE/Todd47.jpg?imgmax=288" alt=" The Big K Expands its Fishing Services" width="288" height="280" title="The Big K Expands its Fishing Services" /></p>
<p>Big K anglers are privileged to have “first water” every day for Winter Steelhead, Spring and Fall Chinook, Coho Salmon, Smallmouth Bass and Shad. Guided trips for keeper and oversize Sturgeon, Striped Bass, Crabbing and ocean fishing are just a short distance from the Ranch. Shuttle service, non-guided private fishing opportunities and river access are also available.</p>
<p>With the appointment of Todd Harrington as Fishing Program Director, The Big K has added a private, easily accessible boat ramp six miles upriver from the ranch, bringing the total number of private boat ramps exclusive to Big K anglers to <strong>eight</strong>. The Big K’s drift boats have been updated, two new rafts and a 24-foot Team North River Scout jet boat has been added to its fishing fleet. Continuing its commitment to safety and professionalism, all Big K guides are now U.S. Coast Guard certified and insured.</p>
<p>“I’m very happy and honored to head up The Big K’s new year-round fishing program,” says Harrington. “The famous <a  href="http://www.bigkoutfitters.com/umpqua-river-fishing/">Umpqua River Loop</a> has been my home waters for the past 12 years. Having the opportunity to team up with The Big K and share its truly spectacular 2,500-acre property, lodge, scenery and fishery with guests from around the world is a dream come true. God is good!”</p>
<p><strong>About Todd Harrington, The Big K&#8217;s new Fishing Program Director</strong></p>
<p>Harrington grew up fishing and rafting Oregon’s Rogue and Applegate Rivers and first dreamed of becoming a professional guide at the tender age of eight. Professionalism, a deep commitment to preserving the water and environment he fishes, and providing clients with world-class angling experiences are hallmarks of Harrington’s career. He has guided clients from around the world through his Living Waters Guide Service for the past twelve years. He also previously owned and operated Angel Lodge on the Elk River near Port Orford, Ore. Harrington, a tournament bass fisherman, earned ESPN’s Best of Show award for Sturgeon fishing on the Umpqua River. He’s made the famous Umpqua River Loop his home for more than a decade and fishes its waters more than 200 days each year.</p>
<p>“We’re thrilled to have Todd Harrington join our team and lead the expansion of our fishing services,” says Kathie Larsen, Director of The Big K. “Todd’s impressive experience as a professional fishing guide, his knowledge of the Umpqua River Loop bordering our ranch, and his deep commitment to customer service make him a perfect fit for working with our clients.”</p>
