    Great fishing!

    6 Hour Trip – Salmon • 2 adults

    James got us on the fish and made sure we were using the right technique . Limited out released a bunch and lost at least 10 fish too. All good since our stringer was full. Highly recomend!

    Arm day

    6 Hour Trip – Salmon • 2 adults

    I had my daughter fishing with me. James was an awesome guide and instructor. His techniques were to catch fish .not snag them. We caught plenty and had a great time.
