Enjoyable day on the River with Captain Chris
Salmon fishing on September 26, 2024 • 2 adults
Trip was as described. We used different techniques and learned a lot about Salmon Fishing. The fish could have been a little more cooperative but after a lot of casts we were able to get a couple in the boat and lost one. Had a great time on the River. I especially enjoyed having someone else rig up my pole while I enjoyed the scenery.
