BRIAN ELIASON

Dryden, Natalie, and Brian Eliason…

BRIAN ELIASON was born and raised in Rhode Island. From an early age, his father instilled a love of fishing and hunting, as well as a tradition of conservation. Brian and his father spent much of their time together fishing Rhode Island’s rivers, streams, and ponds. He is an avid fly fisher and has been for over 50 years, spending countless hours fishing for wild native fish in Rhode Island and elsewhere in the country and world. Brian is the owner and president of a seafood distribution company dedicated to the sourcing of sustainable and high-quality fish and shellfish. While Brian has always been concerned with conservation, he realizes the urgency of protecting Rhode Island’s dwindling wild native fish populations and their habitats, particularly the Wood and Queen Rivers.
