The fishing has been great the best few weeks with the warming water. Pilchards and thread fans are the Bait of choice.

James is the man! He knew right where the fish would be. He was also great with our kids helping them and teaching them the ways, especially with our young daughter who beat us all. Both kids had a blast. Our family had a great time! We will definitely be going out with you againa. Thanks again, James!

Reinaldo, was very communitive, checked with us three times to ensure we we would have best fishing experience possible. He was very forthcoming with his fishing techniques and knowledge of the river. The one thing both of us were pleasantly surprised about was that he not only provided an excellent guide service he fished with us, which allowed us an opportunity to watch his fishing tactics. He shared his knowledge which is greatly appreciated.
