Myself , 2 son in laws , and grandson had minimal trout fishing experience and the water conditions were not optimal the day we fished with captain Blake . Results ; we all caught our limit ! Captain Blake covered casting , line control , and hook set in detail Pryor to us fishing. Me being primarily a bass fisherman I still tried to set hook like I was on a 10 lb largemouth. Result ; broken line. Blake was very patient and after a few times I relaxed and eased into hook set and started putting trout in the boat. Blake was an extremely passionate and knowledgeable guide. He was easy to talk to , funny , yet professional. I would highly recommend Blake for your fishing trip. He is the best .
