Book With Chris
3/4 Day Trip - Shared on July 26, 2025 • 2 adults
First time in Seattle wanted to catch a Salmon and Chris made it happen. Beautiful day and beautiful catch and release wild salmon. Chris is extremely knowledgeable, takes safety and regulations seriously, is kind, and hilarious. Nothing better than a day on the water with a great captain, will definitely be booking with Chris again sometime soon looking for some more Salmon. The area and the lifecycle are so fascinating, can’t miss adventure if you enjoy fishing.

3/4 Day Trip - Shared on August 28, 2025 • 3 adults
We had a terrific day with Captain Chris and we all caught our Salmon limits. Perfect weather and really calm waters and very interesting great conversations with Chris. We put the filets in the freezer back at our hotel right away and are now prepping for a great salmon dinner tonight. Beats the heck out of getting skunked and going to Sizzler! We will be back Chris!

Best trip ever
3/4 Day Trip - Shared on August 27, 2025 • 3 adults
Chris was amazing. He kept putting us fish the whole time. We brought food and was so busy catching fish we couldn't even eat any on it! This was a generational trip with my father and son. The three of us had non stop action. Thank you Chris for making this the best trip ever. I have been on 6 other guided trips and this was the best bar none
