Ratings & Reviews Summary

A great afternoon out with Dennis! He took us to the small mouth we were after, and while we wished we'd been a bit more successful, we left very happy. He patiently taught us some new techniques that will certainly help next time out. Friendly, personable service. Felt like fishing with a long time friend. Thanks again Dennis!

Had a great day of fishing with Dennis. Would highly recommend his guide service. He has over 30 years of experience and accumulated a wealth of practical knowledge of the fish and areas to find them.

Great fun and we appreciated that Dennis was flexible enough to pick us up closer to where we were staying. Many boats were out and fishing was slow, however, we were catching fish while others were not.

The boys had a fantastic time. Thank you so much.
