    What a beautiful morning on the river and we caught a fish.

    1/2 day trips only till end of Aug! on September 7, 2026 • 3 adults

    Our visitor wanted to go fishing and we have never fished. We found Kenny on line and he delivered a perfect morning and our guest's first fish. We didn't know how it would be so we booked a half day. Good but longer on such a great day makes a lot of sense. The boat is new and comfotable. The equipment and support just right. Thanks Kenny!

    Captain Rova worked his tail off for us to get us into fish all while keeping us in stitches with his many funny stories. We hooked alot of fish and really enjoyed the day on the river with him and his wife Molly. He has a very comfortable boat with great gear.

    Fun experience!

    7 Hour Trip – Fall King/Coho Salmon on August 31, 2025 • 2 adults

    Kenny was great when he took me and my gf out. Showed her the ropes n constantly was making sure she had everything set up right. He did his very best to get us on some fish. But it was just a slow day for everyone. But we did get some action! Definitely will be joint Kenny n his wife for another fishing adventure.

Kenny has been fishing since he was 5 years old or as far back as he can remember. The best memory of him fishing as a kid was throwing Trout into his sister's bathtub! For Capt. Kevin, it's a passion to be on the river and he has great joy in watching others create the moments that last a lifetime catching nice Salmon. He feels it's a huge blessing to be a part of those moments.
