My family and I couldn't ask for a better fishing trip with Caleb. His knowledge and experience getting us on fish can not be matched. All the gear provided was top notch matched with his knowledge of the fishery provided us with a day we will never forget. We will definitely book again with Caleb. Thank you Caleb!

Learning and Bonding
Half day trip on March 11, 2024
Caleb and Kyle were awesome (two drift boats!) We had such a great time! Grandson (8 yrs old) learning to fish (he caught one with help), adults learning techniques, possible in laws...with bonding time, caught Steelhead too! Caleb was very aware of the weather conditions as the weather was questionable up to the day and we caught a perfect window! Would recommend Caleb all day long! Thank you for your knowledge and a great experience.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I started fishing When I was a young kid. The first thing I learned to do was fly fish then as I grew older I learned more and more techniques. Now I use my knowledge to teach others how to have a great time on the water. I love to help people catch there first Salmon or steelhead. Nothing is more rewarding than that. The opportunity of catching the fish of a lifetime every time a new fish is on the line has me coming back for more and always will.
