Not having a boat, I don’t get to do as much salmon and steelhead fishing as some. So when I go it’s Ben Parker I go with. It doesn’t seem to matter which month of the year or what river. He knows what the fish are biting and where to fish From Astoria to Bonneville Dam, up the Willamette or on the Lewis and Cowlitz in Washington he does the best job of any of the guides I have been with. We won first place in the tournament and all of us won new fishing poles and line counter reels along with a real nice trophy.
I wanted to thank you for taking your time with us as we were all novice fisherman. By the end of the first hour I felt like I actually knew what I was doing. I was casting and drifting like I needed and WHAM fish on. I hooked and landed a nice bright steelhead about 12lbs. We were talking on our ride back to the hotel about booking our next trip! Our expectations were definetly met and those steelhead were sure tasty. We have already sent business your way and will continue to. Thanks.
