angler's choice

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.

what a catch

VERIFIED

few other folks were catching that day, Caleb put us on an above average King! Since I fell while landing it (rogue wave, poor balance), my nephew had to take over. Caleb is knowlegible and friendly - we had a great time and will be back !
