You won't want for anything more from this crew. Jay and Brandon have the knowledge, experience and expertise to make your trip as successful as possible. We were either catching fish or learning about them, the lake or the gear. It was non-stop immersion into the world of fishing. Book this now!

We were lucky enough to go fishing with Jason. It was a perfect day from start to finish. Very good and courteous service with everything you need. Very good equipment and a delicious fresh lunch with their own caught fish. If we are in the area again we will be happy to come by again Thank you both for this amazing Day!

We had an amazing day on the water with Brent! The action started right away—our first fish was in the box before all the lines were even out. While fishing with four people felt a bit snug (we had to share a seat), there was enough space to enjoy the trip. Brent thoughtfully provided sodas in a cooler, adding to the comfort. The fishing was fantastic, with steady action throughout the morning. We started at 6 AM, and after a quick 10-minute ride, Brent began setting lines for trolling. By 10 AM, we had seven fish in the box, including four Chinook Salmon, two large Rainbow Trout, and a 14-lb Lake Trout. We even hooked a few shakers and had some fish that got away. Two beautiful salmon weighed in around 17 lbs, and we decided that was more than enough. While Brent cleaned the fish, he kept the lines out, and we landed another Rainbow Trout and a Salmon, bringing our total to 11 big fish—more than I’ve ever caught on a charter. The day before, they’d even landed a 25-pounder! We returned home with several coolers packed full of fish. Brent went above and beyond, accommodating our requests to save carcasses for smoking, heads for collars, and bellies. The weather was gorgeous, and the overall experience was everything you could ask for in a fishing charter. Thank you, Brent! We’ll definitely be back.
