Wonderful trip!
8 Hour Trip – Trout Slamming on August 29, 20261 adult2 children

My 6 year old daughters and I had a wonderful time out on the boat. Ethan was extremely hospitable and had snacks and drinks waiting for the girls and I to enjoy. He was happy to let them help with what ever they could and to explain how things work and what he was doing. Unfortunately we only caught one rainbow trout while we were out that morning. It had nothing to do with Ethan or his equipment and all to do with the trout not wanting to bite and us having to leave earlier than we had wanted due to one of my daughters not feeling well. I had such a great time I and am definitely looking forward to booking again soon and telling others about it.

Capt. Ethan runs trips out of American Lake aboard a 17' GlassPly Runabout. Keep your eyes peeled for some Rainbow Trout as you try your hand at trolling, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
