I remember the first time that bobber went down that I was hooked for life. Growing up in Oregon I have appreciated the outdoors and everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I took my love and passion for fishing and created my guide service.

With over 35 years of experience I have gained the knowledge I needed to be successful for my clients. I love seeing the joy from others when they catch a fish of a lifetime. It's amazing getting to create those lifelong memories with others. I look forward to getting to make a new one with you in the future!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
