    We two Japanese guys booked Captain Dan to catch a steelhead! We had never caught steelhead before but finally did thanks to Captain Dan!!! He is so supportive and kindness, give a lot of tips and fun talking!! We spent great time all the day including our first steelhead experience that was exciting so much. Appreciate thank you for giving my best memory in US before going back to Japan next weekend.
