Zach was very personable and a very good guide. I fought several large salmon. We only got one in the boat but we had dozens of opportunities. I am going again.

The day was great. Good equipment, personable friendly captain who has great knowledge of the area and fishing. We caught a good amount of fish and had a great time. I got this for Father’s Day as a gift and it was memorable and would absolutely recommend.
