My son and I experienced an awesome fishing adventure with our guide Sam at Unchartered Guide Services June 9. Sam had us in great fishing from the 1st cast and throughout the morning. When one location slowed down, he promptly led us to more great action, catching beautiful lakers and topped off with Cisco. We highly recommend Sam. He is prompt, friendly, offers helpful tips and lasting fishing memories. We’ll be back!
