    My dad and I took an 8 hour guided trip on the Willamette. Ken is very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and prepared. His equipment is all impressive and well maintained, he carefully explained safety procedures, he also happily shared a lot of valuable information with us about future fishing endeavors. We caught a 20 inch “15 lb” silver salmon. We will definitely book another trip with him, likely for springers!
