    Trevor was super knowledgeable and friendly. It was just a few of us so we got to try a couple spots. We were traveling so we didn’t keep any of the fish we caught but had a great time.

    Chris did a great job rescheduling and made the trip fun. We all had a great time and we will enjoy grilling the trout and salmon tonight and talk about the fishing. Thank you!!!

    Trip: Kings, Coho, & Big Ol' Lake Trout

  • ★★★★★
    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!
