Captain Nick made us all feel so welcome and had an excellent sense of humor. We were able to ask questions and learned a lot. Our group had experienced fisher-people and teenage novices and we all had a great time! Thank you!

We had a good time. Fishing was slow because we booked the trip a little early in the season. The captain and first mate were friendly and knowledgeable. We had 3 grand children ages 10 to 13 and the crew were very good with kids. We caught lake trout and released a steelhead.
