I’ve been fishing with Dave for a few years and I decided to try to get my “YET” fish STURGEON!! Never disappointed. I GOT HER!!! I have gotten the pleasure to fish with Dave on the Hoh river for Kings… picture this…while standing up on the bow of the rowboat, going down the rapids fighting a 25-pound King. When a big boulder towers way over the boat…. The fish decided to go down the far side opposite us. With my hands as high as I could Raise the fish and I go down the river. Dave maneuvered the riverboat with his oars with me facing the fish the whole time going down the rapids sideways !!!! Omgosh freaking phenomenal!! Yes, we got her in the boat!!! Thank you, Dave! This Hawaiian has fished all his life in many waters and once again very very satisfied !!! Can’t wait for the next adventure with ya brother !!

I've known Dave for several years now and he is defiantly an upper tier fishing guide. Always professional and hard working when it comes to getting you on the fish. If you're looking to experience the thrill of a guided fishing trip, I recommend giving Dave a call. He's by far one of the best fishing guides in the state and will do everything he can to ensure you have the fishing experience of a lifetime.

Dave is a fish catching machine. I've fished with him multiple times and we're always one of the top boats on the water. I would encourage anyone who wants to have a good day on the water to book a trip with Dave. You won't be disappointed.

Dave is by far the best guide I've had the pleasure of fishing with! Superior knowledge of our Washington rivers. Great teacher, very patient!

First I am a novice fisherman and Dave makes me feel like a pro. He is a top notch skipper and I always feel comfortable with him at the wheel. We have been out together for several trips and have always had fish on board. On the Sol Duc, Cowlitz or anywhere else, Dave is the best.
