A lifetime adventure
5 Hour Trip Afternoon on July 25, 20252 adults

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the boat with Ivan. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable. My favorite part of the trip was watching him interact with my 10year old grandson. He included him in choosing lures and depth positioning. He is an excellent guide. We learned a bit about the surrounding areas and were fortunate to engage in some great conversations. We were also given great directions to our next leg of our Canadian journey. Thank you Ivan for making Cole's adventure to Vancouver one he will always remember. Bonus Cole caught 3 salmon and was very excited about that.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon

Thank you so much for a great afternoon. I'm always excited to fish with children and seeing the joy in their faces when they catch their first salmon. Safe travels and enjoy our beautiful province.
