Grateful Guide Service top notch!
Pan Fishing-Half Day on August 2, 20252 adults
Casey was great, his knowledge of the lake and ability to put us on fish consistently made the trip exciting and fun for the full 4hrs. His experience on the water thought is new fishing techniques and methods of catching fish. The trip was fun and well worth the money and time. I will be returning to try my hand at fly fishing next time!
Reported catch:
Sunfish
Yellow Perch
Largemouth Bass

Salmon Fishing-Full Day on October 3, 20252 adults
Casey was a fantastic guide. Logisitcs were smooth and learned a ton out there. He was incredibly knowledgable and had all the tools improve our chances of a catch. Went from being a pure beginner to reeling in big fish on my own by the end!

Trout Fishing Fly/Gear-Full Day on July 22, 20252 adults
Casey was beyond patient. Both of us were complete beginners and messed up every cast that we tried but Cacey patiently and very graciously help us out every time we messed up . He encourage us along the way we had a blast felt safe, had fun and caught quite a few fish. I would highly recommend him and his service. Looking forward to seeing him in the winter and going ice fishing riding.
