Kyle has an uncanny knowledge of local fisheries as well as an understanding of the habits of the fish living in them. In addition to that, he’s a genuinely nice guy, which makes for a very enjoyable experience on the water. I’ve engaged Kyle three times this season and each time has been a fun, productive and memorable experience. If you want to have a great day on the water and have the best chances of catching fish, I’d highly recommend hiring Kyle!

Went out with Jim today for my first time ever, he was super patient and informative on every aspect, put us on good fishing holes, and was extremely knowledgeable… Definitely recommend him, and I will definitely be back out for steelhead
