    Beautiful waterways, big fish, and a cool captain

    Fall, Winter & Spring- 5 Hour Trip on October 9, 2026 • 2 adults

    Spent five hours with Kevin doing the early Salmon and steelhead run was by far the best money I’ve ever spent on a fishing guide. I learned a lot from him about this kind of finhing. We caught a variety of fish. offered to clean and got my fish and was very kind about taking some photos.

    Best Charter Ever! Sweet T Sportfishing is a winner

    Fall, Winter & Spring Steelhead-6hr on March 22, 2025 • 2 adults

    Capt. Kevin was phenomenal. Although my son and I were not experienced anglers, he was very patient and guided us perfectly. He made fishing fun and easy, while totally exceeding our expectations. I highly recommend Capt Kevin for anyone looking to get their money's worth from a charter fishing trip.

    In spite of the rain and a relatively slow bite, captain Kevin was able to put us on fish. My son landed his first king salmon. I landed my first steelhead. Many thanks to captain Kevin!!!

    Capt. Kevin was extremely accommodating for my elderly grandfather and made the experience memorable for the both of us. His level of expertise was clear when we were pulling in more fish than any other anglers on the water that day….I originally did not want to write a review because I was worried it will make it harder to schedule future trips, that being said, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Kev.

Dream Catch
Fall, Winter & Spring- 5 Hour Trip on October 11, 2026 • 2 adults

My son and I went out for an early morning trip. It has been his dream to catch a salmon for the past 4 years. I did my best to help him catch one including all the tackle and gear at Bass Pro, but still no luck. Kevin was a real professional and had all we needed to catch salmon and steelhead. We had a great morning and caught 2 King Salmon, 1 steelhead, 2 catfish, and a small bass. Cross another one off the bucket list.

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
Chinook Salmon

A fishing guide with finesse.
Winter Steelhead Adventure-4hr on October 26, 2025 • 2 adults

Kevin is one of the most squared away guides whom I ever met. His boat and equipment are absolutely top notch. He is highly skilled and knows the fish and the river. He is kind and works to make your trip productive and enjoyable. I will fish with him whenever I have the opportunity.

Kevin Ouzts
Response from Captain

Thank you very much. It was a great time and look forward to fishing with you again.
