    Memories to last a lifetime!

    Half Day Trip (PM)4 adults

    What an absolutely awesome experience for a family from St Louis with 2 teenage boys. Captain Nick was on it! He knew exactly where to go, what lures/bait to use and and how deep to set them. He is the BEST. We had multiple lines out and came back with the maximum amount of fish allowed. Large King Salmon (what a fight) and Lake & Steelhead Trout. Perfect day all around! Thanks Nick.

    Reported catch:
    Lake Trout
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Chinook Salmon

    Phenomenal Trip!!

    Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults

    Had a great time out this morning. Capt. Nick got of right on the fish and we had to hustle to keep reeling them in as he got them on the line. We reached our 18 before 8am and got our final two awhile later a we chose to head back. Capt. was friendly, fun, and patient with us being inexperienced with this kind f fishing. Would absolutely go again!

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
    Coho Salmon

    Boys had a great time!

    Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults2 children

    Captain Nick got right to work making sure we had a great fishing trip. Caught our limit of King, Coho and Steelhead. Nick was patient with the kids and gave them clear instructions that helped them be successful. He worked hard to keep lines in the water and fish in the boat. Had a great time fishing with three middle school age boys.

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
    Coho Salmon
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

    Captain Nick, put my group on the Chinook with a few Coho mixed in. We were busy catching fish the whole trip and Captain Nick was nonstop taking care of us. Definitely a Do Over
