Out guide, Kevin, did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend him. There were four of us in our group including 2 experienced anglers, one semi experienced, and one who was very inexperienced. Kevin did a great job keeping everyone involved, baited, and altered approaches based on skill level. He worked very hard to put us on fish. He even cleaned our fish at the end of the trip. Again, I would higly recommend.

Fishing has been good, it's been windy but we are working through it. Both live bait and artificial lures have been working. I have plenty of days available right now

Fishing has been good drifting in 3-5' of water around drop offs, throwing rat tail soft plastics on 1/8th oz heads. Wadefishing for bigger trout up too 7lbs has been picking up as the temperatures decrease.
