We had a great experience with Corey and John fishing for king salmon on the Columbia. Picture perfect day, great experience, even though the bites were slow. The guys did everything in their power to get us some fish— changed locations, changed gear, tried new setups, stuck it out the whole day. We caught two (none of the other boats were really catching either), and had a great time in the process. Quality gear, comfortable boat, plenty of room. Highly recommend, would go with the them again next time we’re in town.

Captain Cory knows his stuff! His boat and gear are locked in and he is more than happy to share what he knows, I learn so much. Definitely booking with him again.

Cory found fish, one of the hardest working guides around. I would without doubt recommend him to anyone.
