The smallmouth bass bite has been insane lately. Landing 30+ fish each trip. Transitioning soon into king salmon towards the end of Sept and into October.

We have an ungodly amount of coho salmon in the rivers right now. Brown trout and steelhead are also mixed in, just not in good numbers yet. We're doing a lot of casting and retrieving of hard lures, such as spinners and crank baits. As well as float fishing bobbers...

absolutely the best fishing experience i could have asked for! my son turned 10 and only wanted a guided fishing trip. we found kyle online and the booking process was super simple. he kept in touch every step of the way. once we were out fishing he checked our background knowledge to tailor our experience based on what we already knew and what the main thing we were trying to catch was. he had a ton of equipment so we could easily find the best fish and have the greatest chances of success. he helped cast out to perfect spot and made it almost impossible for my son not to catch a fish. 100/10 would highly recommend! i’ve already got my next trip lined up 😄

Trip: 1/2 Day Musky Fishing
★★★★★
Clayton was a fantastic guide with a great sense of humor. My husband and I went for my husband’s birthday and Clayton put us on fish right away. My husband had a nice size tiger musky in the first 15 minutes and I caught my first musky ever just shortly after. Was a great experience! Nice boat and fantastic gear. Would highly recommend!!!

Captain Dave and First Mate Quinn were awesome! Very knowledgeable and friendly! They made it feel like we've been friends for a long time. The excitement from Capt. Dave every time a fish was on the line made it even more fun. Would definitely recommend these guys if you're looking for a charter!!

★★★★★
Absolutely fantastic trip with Shane. He explained everything we needed to know and set expectations before the trip and was easy to find when we got there. Super knowledgable, patient, and fun, his boat was clean and he was extremely efficient. Learned a lot, got on some major trout and salmon action, and had a blast. Looking forward to the next time we can get out there with him!
