Testimonials

We saw your addition to your web site. Our pictures also turned out good. Wanted to thank you again for an excellent adventure. Your insights and communication skills left lasting impressions on Michael and Kaeman. Helping them land their Salmon didn't hurt either. You are now on the highly recommended lists of Worldmark/Trendwest and Mike, Mike and Kaeman. Hope to be in your neck of the woods sometime soon.......

Wayne just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much my wife and I enjoyed our fishing trip with you two weekends ago. My wife is still talking about the size of the fish she caught and how much fun it was fighting and landing them. I have on a number of occasions fished and hunted with many guides from Alaska to Wyoming and I will say this, seldom have the guides worked harder to insure my success and enjoyment of the experience more than you. My wife and I plan to book another trip with you next summer during the Coho run. If you could email me sometime next summer when they are biting strong we will book the trip with you immediately. Again thanks for making my wife's birthday gift such a success!!

"Wayne, Thanks so much for such a great fishing experience. My brothers and I had started to think that we were not able catch fish, but you sure showed us otherwise. WOW! I really appreciated your efforts to create the perfect fishing scenario from the heated boat (this was very nice) to having the best equipment (you obviously know your stuff.). I have already been raving about you to everyone that I know, and I am certain that you will be hearing from us again. I might be interested some time in setting up a time for my brothers and I to take our dad out with you (possible on the Skagit?). Well, thanks again, and I will make sure that my brothers (Joe and Ronald) send you some of the pictures that we took so you can add them to your web site."
