Outstanding Day on the Water with Skylar
4 Hour Trip on October 28, 20253 adults

Skylar is an exceptional fishing guide—the complete package. His knowledge of the water and techniques is top-notch, but what really sets him apart is how he combines that expertise with genuine enthusiasm and excellent teaching. He took the time to explain what he was doing and why, teaching us techniques we'll use for years to come. We caught some nice fish, but honestly, Skylar's personality and passion for the sport made the whole experience memorable regardless of what was biting. If you're looking for a guide who's skilled, personable, and ensures you have a great time while learning, book with Skylar. We'll definitely be back.

Not only did Skylar put us ON THE FISH, he kept us dry around sudden storms, and had all the patience in the world with our rookie fisherwoman. Mom, Dad, and Big Brother caught all they wanted all day too. Incredible day with an incredible guide. Will be back again for sure.
