Three Sons Guide Service

If you’re ready to love fishing in Jackson, book a trip with Three Sons Guide Service. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Brian knows them forwards and back.

These waters are known for Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Crappie, Catfish, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You’ll find yourself aboard a 22’ 2022 RH Aluminum Coastal boat with room for 6 passengers. It has downriggers and all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. Don’t leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Three Sons Guide Service!
