Top-Notch Guide with Incredible Patience
Captain Ray was fantastic. Even though the fish did not cooperate for us that day, he worked hard from start to finish to give us every opportunity to hook one. You could tell he genuinely wanted everyone on the boat to succeed. What impressed me the most was his patience. We had some very young, pretty restless kids on board, and he never got frustrated or let it affect the trip. He stayed calm, encouraging, and made sure everyone had a good experience. He was also great to talk with and shared a lot of local knowledge. One of the highlights was seeing bald eagles perched up in the cottonwoods along the river. It was an awesome bonus to an already memorable trip. You cannot control whether the fish bite, but you can control the effort and experience, and Captain Ray knocked both out of the park. I would absolutely book with him again.
Nathan, thank you so much for the wonderful review. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Some days the fish make us work harder than others, but my goal is always to give everyone the best opportunity possible and make sure the trip is enjoyable from start to finish. It was a pleasure having you on the boat, and I’m glad the day was still memorable even with the slower bite. I also appreciate you mentioning the patience shown with the young kids from the other group on board. Making sure everyone has a good experience, no matter their age or fishing experience, is always important to me. I’m glad you got to enjoy the bald eagles along the river too — those moments are always something special. Thank you again for booking with me and for the kind words. I’d be happy to fish with you again anytime. — Captain Ray
