Locked with Lorensen - Salmon River 

with the state opening up the Salmon River locks above our fishing location the night before we made the best of it with rain and murky water for our first trip ever on the Salmon River. All three of us that went caught fish had a few extra bites. The overall experience was great with the captain. The Equipment was excellent. We made the best of the higher waters. I would recommend this charter to anyone for the first time or even a repeat customer. would never fishing for salmon the captain was patient and explaining the technique after losing the first couple bites we hounded in our techniques and we’re successful

We really had a fantastic time. Captain Ryan was extremely communicative and flexible with his schedule, and he took the time to call me before and walk through everything from the plan, fishing techniques, pickup, and all the details. He was very accommodating and took us out even though it was essentially an open window between snowstorms. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, taught my kids quite a bit and he taught me quite a bit as well. He really coached my son through his second catch and gave him confidence to complete the catch. He also really knew what he was doing. We went to multiple spots, got hits at each one, tried different techniques, and walked away with 3 keepers (Steelheads). He took lots of pictures and sent them to me. Really a wonderful human being and I can't say enough things about how much we enjoyed the trip (and we've done multiple guided fishing trips before, so we have a good understanding of how they should go). He had a heater/warmer on his boat, which was key. Great price also, especially since he spent extra time with us to fish in one more spot before an enjoyable ride home. We will definitely be back and will connect with Captain Ryan again.

Ryan is knowledgeable of the waterways and was accommodating for a senior fisherman. Initially the weather looked bleak but cleared up in a hurry and we were on the water catching fish on our first casts. We were targeting multiple species, with a combination of artificials and live bait. We caught plenty of small mouth, pike, and reeled in a bowfin and pickerel.

Fishing was slow but he moved us numerous places, tried numerous methods and never quit until we hit the fish. We caught several species and learned a lot of fishing tips that he was sure to share the whole time. He was great with my 13 year old son, would 100% recommend.

I’ve been fishing for steelhead about 20 years. Today I landed five and probably lost 15. Most ever in a day. Ryan was very patient with my brother-in-law and he had the time of his life. He caught a monster, his first, and a few more after that. Can say enough about this trip. I’ve fished in Alaska and Montana. Some days you can’t beat the good old Salmon River!

My dad and I had a great day with Ryan. He is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely loves making sure his trips are top notch. We were so impressed with everything we are already thinking about when to book our next trip. This was our first time fishing for steelhead and we came away with so much information and an appreciation for the craft. Highly recommend!

Took my 80 year old ( very active) brother and my future son n law and all of caught nice King Salmon. Amazing day fishing. Ryan was great

Ryan went above and beyond to make sure we got on some fish. He is very knowledgeable about the river. He kindly shared this knowledge with us for our future fishing endeavors on the Salmon river. Ryan is the reason we are bringing a cooler full of steelhead back home. Awesome experience!

I've been dreaming of catching a King Salmon snice childhood. It was a graet experience.

We had a blast. Ryan is thoughtful, knowledgeable and very professional. Tough day finding fish at first but he worked it and we hit them hard. Ryan has all top notch equipment and technology and it sure enhances the experience. First rate.
