    Great day on the water

    4 Hour Trip – Northern Howe Sound • 4 adults

    Ryan was the best guide! He knew exactly where the fish were biting and we brought in several salmon! We released all back in the water so they coukd live another day! We also saw some humpback whales too which mafe our experience that much greater! Highly recommend him for your next fishing adventure!

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon

    Sehr toller Ausflug und Erfahrung.

    4 Hour Trip – Afternoon • 2 adults

    Dieses Angelabenteuer war eine sehr tolle Erfahrung und Captian Ryan sehr nett und trotz Sprachbarriere er sich Zeit für uns gegen, das wir alles verstehen. Wir hatten richtig den Ausflug genossen. Haben Forellen geangelt, leider keinen Lachs, aber so ist die Batur. Wir können und würden das zu jederzeit nochmal machbe .

    Best kept secret for salmon!

    5 Hour Trip – South sound/Vancouver • 2 adults

    just south of Squamish, BC where the waters are cold, deep and rich with salmon, Captain Ryan knows all of the spots growing up in that area. Even though it rained all day, we had the vest time pulling in one after the other of healthy salmon. catch and reslease but a memory we will not forget.

    Memorable day on the water!

    4 Hour Trip – Afternoon • 6 adults

    Ryan was very welcoming and made everyone comfortable right away. The boat was well equipped and Ryan was awesome at showing the kids how to set up the equipment and then let do the things in their own! They loved it! 4 fish made it aboard but none to our plates! We will be back to try again!

    Response from Captain

    Fantastic trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Afternoon • 4 adults

    We booked this trip last minute for family from Ontario who had never been ocean fishing. It was a perfect day! Ryan is very personable and knowledgeable and our guys had learned to do the rods and net on thier own pretty quick. All fish were released. We will be back!

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
