Mark and Pat were so awesome! Even before our trip, Mark was diligent about sending the info needed to locate the spot a week ahead of time. while on the boat, they were great about explaining every detail. The water was super choppy and we didn't catch much in 5 hours so Mark kept us out there for 4 additional hours to ensure everyone caught something. We had such a wonderful time!
Thank you for being so oatient and persistent, it did pay off in the end. I will look forward to seeing you guys out again. Thanks for coming out to enjoy our beautiful PNW.
Captain Mark was great and super willing to share information. We learned a lot about salmon fishing and hope to fish with him again!
This was my second trip with Cascade Fishing Guides, we were able to get our limit of spot shrimp and Captain Mark is always happy to answer all my sons questions and pass any knowledge down. I highly recommend, we are already booked again for some summer kings.
Thanks for coming out Travis. Its awesome to see how the support you give to your son and as he explores his passion for fishing. He is a true fisherman. Im excited to see him get on big kings, will be his 3rd species he’s taken with me.
After a beautiful boat ride, Captain Mark put us immediately on fish. We caught more than one type of salmon. We limited out and then some. I have fished in 32 states and have been on many guided trips. This trip is on the top of my list. Awesome!
The weather was a bit sporty, but so was the fishing and you knew exactly how to handle these fish. Limited in less than an hour, even after sending some we coukdnt keep back. Thank you for making it a great day and making this the best job Ive ever haf.
We caught our limit on coho salmon with Captain Mark. His knowledge, experience, ease, and sense of humor made the trip about more than just catching fish. Will book with him again, highly recommend you do too!
Tara is was great having you guys out there and hearing your sone rave about the good time he had really made my day. Thanks for coming out, Ill look for you guys on hour next visit to the PNW.

Your captain
I started hanging out along creeks, rivers, and lakes reeling in trout as a kid, was always in trouble for staying out past when the street lights came on. I took a hiatus from fishing to travel the world for the Army and have been back on the water where I belong pursuing my angling passion since retiring from the Army. I'm an avid outdoorsman, local and knowledgable guide, experienced angler and educator (PhD). I hold all necessary licenses including USCG OUPV (6-pack) Captain's license, Washington State Guide License, as well as Salmon Charter License. My First Aid and CPR certifications are current, and I'm a member of the Washington State Guides Association and Puget Sound Anglers Association. Book a trip with me for a safe and educational experience that puts the rods in your hands. When you fish with me, I'll be right there to offer any coaching you may want as you catch your fish, not the guide.
