Testimonials

Whether you want to learn new techniques, understand a new species and system, or go for a personal best Jim is your guy. He took my wife and I out for our first time Steelhead fishing (we've been trophy hunting all over the world) and we had an absolute blast catching monster Steelhead. You know a good guide when at the end of the day if you weren't to catch anything you would still learn something and have a great time. We'll be back 100%. Thanks Jim.

Jim was an absolutely amazing guide! Took my dad and I out to a couple of spots, taught us a ton of knowledge, explained everything thoroughly, and gave us an amazing Father/Son memory! Highly recommend and can’t wait to book with Jim again in the future!

Ryan Brauneller

Went out with Jim. Had a great day on the water. He knows where the fish are. He put us on fish and showed us how to catch them. Ended up catching 6 steelhead. Had a blast. Call Jim he will put you on fish!!!
