We had an amazing experience with Desmond! He was incredibly patient with our three kids, including our four-year-old, and made the whole trip fun and stress-free. His equipment was top-notch, and he took the time to explain everything in a way the kids could understand. He guided us through the process and worked hard to help us find and catch fish — even on a day when most others weren’t coming back with anything. Highly recommend for families and anyone looking for a great day on the water!

It was a slow fish day, but Desmond hung in there with us to two big fish and some extra opportunities before we went back in. Thanks Desmond.

Captain Desmond was very accommodating and a great guide! He landed us on some Sturgeon very quickly and had a blast catching them, then we went for some salmon, the salmon were slow, but he put in the extra effort to get us to catch a few. Thanks for the Great Experience! Hopefully be back in April to try again!
