Ratings & Reviews Summary
August 22, 2025
We had a great time Salmon fishing with Brock. Caught a lot of fish. We had 2 contests going, biggest fish and puking the most times. I might have won them both.
August 22, 2025
Brock provided great direction and excellent communication. We met on time, and left on time. There were four of us fishing, all of us caught our limit of salmon by 9:05 AM. It was amazing! I didn’t have any time to take videos or photos… We were too busy catching fish!
August 22, 2025
Brock did a great job getting us a good fishing experience on a day where the fish weren’t biting (for anyone) as much as usual. We still got a fish for everyone on board, which was better than most of the boats on the water that day. Nice guy and a great guide.
August 22, 2025
Awesome. Had a great time. Tagged out 3 hours in. Brock is super knowledgeable and knows the Columbia river like the back of his hand. Next time we fish this area, we’ll definitely book Brock again!
August 22, 2025
Brock was an exceptional guide! He exuded knowledge, experience, and friendliness throughout our trip. We had an absolute blast and, thanks to Brock's expertise, landed impressive Chinook weighing 12 and 15 pounds! We wholeheartedly recommend him and eagerly anticipate booking with him again.
August 22, 2025
Brock was absolutely fantastic! Although fishing was a bit slow due to the season, crabbing was outstanding, and Brock's warm personality, preparedness, and expertise made the trip unforgettable. We highly recommend Brock!
