An Experience to Remember
"What an experience! Not only for me, but my entire family. Besides leading us to the "big ones", Jim, Geoff and Scott attended our every need. My wife and I thrilled watching our daughters catch their very first salmon, and some "slabs" at that. We caught every species of salmon, some sole, and a good sized halibut. The guides took care of cleaning and packing the fish for our journey home ... we didn't have to do a thing. I had to drag my family on the boat to begin with … and now they can't wait to go back next summer!"
