What anglers say

In their words

Josh N. · Facebook review

A beginner and a veteran, same boat

“Griffin was super patient and helped me get up to speed enough to hook and reel in some super nice coho salmon, even with hardly no experience of my own! He was able to handle both a beginner and a seasoned veteran together on the same trip.”

Best fishing experience

“Griffin is professional, safe and instructional. This was my first time drift fishing, he provided excellent instruction, demonstration and encouragement. Our first day, we limited in 20 minutes.”

Richard J. · Facebook review

On the #1 mark

“Griffin will get you into the fish, you just have to listen to his tips on how to get them in the boat and you will come home with some nice fish! I have fished with all different guides, this man is on the #1 MARK!!”
