Nick was a great fish guide

2 Hour Trip – Catch & Go (PM)2 adults

We caught 7 fish in 2 hours and Nick was kind enough to clean the one we kept for us and share where we could get it cooked in town.

    Kids had a blast

    2 Hour Trip – Catch & Go (PM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Great experience. Great captain. Fishing was a bit slow at first but picked up. Kids really enjoyed the trip and Nick was great. Nice to have cleaned fish to take home.

    Helpful and knowledgeable skipper with a good boat

    3 Hour Trip – Trout Fishing (AM) • 2 adults

    The skipper, Nick, met us at the appointed time and place. There was a mechanical problem with the boat so Nick kindly offered to take us on a much larger boat at the same price. He knows the lake intimately and we had a very successful days fishing - 10 trout in 2 hours.
