I often tell people that I learned to fish before I learned to walk…and that’s not too far from the truth. I have spent my entire life fishing Oregon’s beautiful lakes, rivers & bays. The only thing that I love more than fishing is helping someone else catch their first BIG fish. Not only do I love helping people catch fish, but I love educating people on the techniques that I have learned over the years. Book now and join me for a day of fun and learning!
