Fun Day!!!
Enclosed 26’trytoon River Charters on July 10, 20252 adults
My son and I did the river trip. Jerry was fantastic. It was nice to have someone with his knowledge and experience to lead us on this trip. He could not have been a better guide. Fishing was a bit slow for a while, but Jerry kept trying difference spots. You could tell it was important that my son catch some fish which we did. I highly recommend Jerry. Great day!!!
