First steelhead for my son and I! Josh was great. I would highly recommend, absolutely.
A skilled professional!

Josh was extremely helpful, it was mine and my sons first steelhead trip, and Josh walked us through everything before we launched and while we was fishing. Would highly recommend.
Crescent City, California, United States
Capt. Josh runs trips out of Crescent City aboard an 18' Willie Boats craft. These waters are known for Steelhead and Salmon and he will show you how to catch them. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
