DNA Fishing displayed exceptional expertise and skill on the lake. We had an amazing time, caught some great fish, and the crew went above and beyond to accommodate everyone in our group. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

My son and I were new to salmon fishing, but Capt. Don and Andrea made it an exceptional experience. Their technical expertise and friendly approach were outstanding. We landed 4 out of 5 fish, including two over 20 lbs, with the biggest being a 25-pound King Salmon!

DNA Fishing was punctual and ready to go at pick-up. The crew was incredibly hospitable, informative, and knew exactly where to find the fish.

Captain Don and Andrea were amazing with our 12-year-old son, letting him reel in the fish all on his own. The joy on his face when he landed his first catch was absolutely priceless. He had the incredible experience of catching a Brown Trout, a Steelhead, and a massive King Salmon – everything he had dreamed of. It was such a fun adventure, and we can’t wait to book another trip with DNA Fishing!

Amazing people and an incredible experience – highly recommend to everyone!
