Husband and son just had their first float trip and they had an awesome time💕 John talked them through it all and although they only landed two, it was the best day ever. John made them feel very comfortable and was an amazing guide. He definitely will be going back and I want to go next time, you will not regret it. Hubby’s so happy they went! Thank you so much John💕I can’t wait to go now !

Guide John was a great teacher. He explained everything clearly and worked to make sure we understood and had the skills necessary to hook and land giant salmon. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to learn this fishery.
