Mike took me, my son and brother and a friend on a guided trip on the Kasilof River in Alaska. I look forward to using him on an Oregon trip in the future! He was knowledgeable, a skilled oarsman, and had a great respect for the fish we were catching during our trip. He is a great teacher as well. We were able to catch a 50 lb King (Chinook) salmon without bait as well as a few other Kings. You won't regret booking a trip with him. And homemade cinnamon rolls in the boat??? Come on! You can't go wrong!
