We came ready to salmon fish. Focused only on salmon. Caleb gave us a straightforward assessment of the river from his morning trip. Talked us into fishing from the boat for both trout and salmon. Had a great four hour float. Caught over a dozen fish and even took some salmon home. Time of year and river conditions determined our day and Caleb maximized our time. Look forward to a full day trip earlier in the season next time.
Caleb was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable on where to get us on some trout! He was very helpful to me because I don’t fish very often. We hope to come back next year and plan to book another trip with them! Thanks so much for the top notch service!
Jason and his crew were fantastic! They took us to the perfect spot for our group of 14 to quickly catch our limit of Sockeye Salmon. When the weather changed our original plan, he quickly made alternate arrangements and we had a great time. I would definitely use him again!
Caleb had us on the Trout even when they were a little hard to find! Always handy with a new lure or spot to try when things ran cold and we were right back on em. Great guide, great fishing. Don’t hesitate to book. Thanks so much!
Caleb was a great guide! Jason was very good with communicating with our group before the trip. Had a good half day trout/char fishing!
