Matt Eastman
Making his television debut on “Wanna Go Fishing?,” Matt Eastman’s enthusiasm for the sport matched perfectly with Wanna Go Fishing’s wild concept. Matt dedicated his life to fishing, and his house now sits adjacent to the gold-medal water of the Provo River near Park City, UT.
Born in Evanston, WY, Matt started fishing at the age of five--a day on the river with his dad and a flyrod was an instant passion. Growing up in Park City, Matt was never far from world-class flyfishing, and before long he turned into a self-proclaimed fish junky.
Staying true to his outdoor spirit, Matt attended the University of Oregon and graduated in 1998 with a degree in environmental studies and minor in geology. He’s quick to point out, though, that between classes he fine-tuned his flyfishing skills on the nearby McKenzie River.
In late 2005, friend and neighbor Chris Fischer–founder of Fischer Productions, LLC–asked Matt to host “Wanna Go Fishing?” Although a newcomer to both saltwater angling and television hosting, he took the challenge, and didn’t need five minutes or two phone calls to decide. Taking unsuspecting people on fishing experiences of a lifetime wasn’t just a dream trip for them, but for Matt as well. More than 20 life-changing adventures later, he's now also hosting Costa Del Mar's U. of Blue College Tour!!!!
