I put in many days and a few thousand casts trying to catch a steelhead and Matt finally made it happen! We landed 9 of 10 steelhead in a day and two of them were wild trophy bucks (36” and 40”). It was such an epic day! Matt is an absolute pro and is the nicest guy ever.

We had a great day fishing with Matt. My wife and I fish a lot on our own and with guides. What separates Matt from other guides is, he is very helpful with techniques, shows great respect for the fishery, and a top notch person with great values. We strongly recommend Matt when you look for your next fishing outing. Thanks Matt!! Chris and I will be back to join you again.
