Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! If you’re looking for a fishing guide, look no further. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He knew the water, knew exactly what he was doing, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing day. What really stood out, though, was how much he cared about the experience, not just putting us on fish, but making sure we were comfortable, having fun, learning, and enjoying every moment on the water. You could tell this wasn’t just a job to him; he truly loves fishing and sharing that experience with other people. The entire day was memorable, the equipment was great, communication was excellent, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. 10/10 experience and worth every penny. We will absolutely be booking another trip!

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

Our group had an awesome time aboard! Trolling for fish was a really unique experience. With only two people fishing at a time—even though we had five onboard—everyone still got a turn, and each of us caught salmon! Watching them fillet our catch right on the dock was super cool. Captain Justin even recommended an amazing restaurant and arranged shipping our fish back to Kansas. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond—highly recommended!
