The experience: We were out for roughly three hours and in that time had three fish on and were able to reel in two of them. Salmon fishing is not really for kids; They put up a heck of a fight and definitely require a fighting mentality, position and the muscle to reel in a very strong fish. Still, the trip was a total success and we wouldnโt hesitate to recommend Steve and Mike for their expertise!
The captain: Steve clearly has a passion for fishing. He knew where to go to find the fish and rigged up 5 rods to fish with concurrently. He is great with children and makes sure that they (and everyone) are safe. When you are talking to him, he seems to have the ability to keep his eye on all five fishing rods at the same time and spring into action as soon as there is a fish on. Since we had kids with us he was happy to control the rod while the kids reeled in the line as much as they could. Great soft skills.
The boat: We went out on their 27โ boat and while we acknowledge that we arenโt the average clientele (3 adults and 2 kids) we were hoping for some more comfortable seating on and below deck. The room that was available below deck to relax was cluttered however I donโt fault the crew for this at all. As I said, we arenโt the average clientele and having kids they didnโt always want to be on deck. The bathroom (head) on board is tiny. Very tiny. Think airplane. If you need to use the restroom, do so before going out to the lake.

What an amazing day on the water with Fishin Clinician Charters and Captain Mike. My three boys had the time of their lives and will never forget this experience. They couldnโt stop talking about all the salmon and trout we caught which made our freshly caught dinner even better. I also included my father on this trip. He used to be an avid fisherman but hasnโt been able to get out in some time. It was great to see him bringing in a huge rainbow with huge smile on his face to match. I recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to have a great day on the water with friends or family. Iโll be booking again soon. Thanks so much Fishin Clinician Charters

Great charter with exceptional service. My dad struggles respiratory and back issues but they were very patient with assisting us with his needs. Got on some fish and made some great memories. Definitely recommend!!
We met up with Captain Mike for a half day fishing charter and enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Captain Mike is well equipped with gear and knowledge, and made all 5 of us feel at home. We caught a few and few got away, thatโs fishing! Highlight was a beautiful Rainbow trout and the smile on my fathers face. Priceless! Will come again to get the ones that got away! Captain Mike is up for the challenge!
We couldnโt recommend Captain Mike highly enough. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and made sure we all had a great time. This fishing charter was a Fatherโs Day gift for my husband and the whole family (Children age 7 and 9) had fun. Mike brought us to where the fish were and helped us each hook a fish. We landed two salmon and a trout. We are already thinking of booking another trip with him. Highly recommend!
