    Experience of a lifetime!!!

    Full Day Trip on March 29, 2025 • 3 adults

    This was truly an experience of a lifetime for my two boys and I. We caught so many fish that we cut it down to a half day trip. I also caught my personal best 25” brown trout!!! We can’t wait to come back! Cobb was one of the best guides and most experienced that I’ve ever had and I have fished from coast to coast. Truly wonderful experience!

    Jenkins guide service

    Full Day Trip on July 5, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Jenkins guide service was top notch. Guide put us on fish all day and was great with any questions we had. Owner was the best anyone could ask for. We caught a limit apiece and that’s with the water being high. Will definitely be back later in the year and will be booking with Mr Jenkins on our next trip.
