Capt Graham grew up on the lake fishing with his dad and it showed. He was on time, his gear was in good working order and we had fish on. We had a really good time and I would recommend this guide to anyone. Really nice guy and his love for his craft showed.

Graham knows the lake and will put you where the fish are for that day. Gear was excellent, and instruction was wonderful. He also is fun to just hang out and chat with.
