Sometimes you can’t control the fish

5 Hour Trip (AM)3 adults1 child

Would highly recommend. Captain Tim is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and was a great guide for my family of three, and was really great with our 11yr old. Pros: caught several salmon of varying sizes, so we each got to reel one in. Captain Tim kindly cleaned and filleted the salmon for us, and gave us some great cooking and storage tips. Cons: bugs are plentiful and voracious. Lots of flies. Nothing against the captain or the tour - just be prepared and wear long sleeves and pants if possible. The fish also weren’t cooperating. After catching 2 at the same time, we then hit some long durations without activity. Can’t control that, and Captain Tim was awesome in trying different things. Just sometimes how it rolls.

    Tim is a fantastic captain

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    Tim, thanks for giving us a day we’ll remember. He explained everything in a way that made us feel right at home. Tim worked nonstop the entire trip, from castoff, tips on reeling in the fish, to filleting on shore. We couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable captain

    Response from Captain

    thank you for coming out and the review Brad!
