Cory Hayashi is a lifelong angler with more than 35 years of experience fishing California’s lakes and rivers, where he developed a strong foundation in trout fishing. He now spends much of his time offshore, pursuing tuna and other pelagic species across the Pacific. Cory’s work reflects a broad interest in exploring new regions and fishing styles, along with a focus on the connection between fishing, food, and culture—often taking his catch from the water to the kitchen. A graduate of the University of Southern California, he has previously written for The Rafu Shimpo, covering food and beverage.
