We had an extremely good Kokanee fishing trip, the captain is very knowledgeable of the fishery and the reservoir, knows his target species, we bagged out our limit relatively early while other boats seem to be having to work hard for their catch, afterwards had the opportunity to appreciate local wildlife and boat around and see the reservoir, overall an excellent choice to go fishing Kokanee salmon!!!
Josh was an awesome fishing guide, he was extremely knowledgeable about the area and lake we fished in. I can’t believe how many fish we caught! Both my sons are ending their Naval service and this fishing trip was their first family vacation in 10 years! Great time with a great guide. I highly recommend Josh Fontaine!
