Harry and Alec were amazing and put us on the fish. Both were extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining during the day. I cannot recommend them highly enough and am so grateful for their expertise and efforts to make the trip so much fun. Thank you guys!

Fantastic guide. Couldn't recommend more. Took the time to show us the art of fly fishing and the South Fork of the King's River. You won't go wrong with Scott!

Trip: Sequoia National Forest Fly Fishing
★★★★★
Went out fishing with Capt Andrew and his first mate Ace. The boat was clean and everything was set up and ready for us to enjoy the day. Unfortunately our day turned out with not any fish, but Capt Andrew and Ace worked very hard trying to find fish and searching all over. Saw a lot of aquatic life on our trip and enjoy the day out in the Pacific Ocean, zero fish but a 10 rating on effort, a very enjoyable day. We will be back to get that big one.

We had a great time on our trip with Captain Nathan’s crew! Noah was our skipper, and Nick was the deckhand. They were both helpful and engaging, and always there to lend a hand. Would definitely recommend for both beginner and experienced anglers!

Bobby was our captain and he treated myself, my son and my grandson like we owned the boat. He was very professional and courteous and answered all our questions. He gave us choices which no other service has in the past. This was much appreciated and I plan on returning again.
