What others are saying...


I have been fishing with Justin for salmon, steelhead, and trout for over 10 years. I have NEVER been disappointed. Justin is experienced, personable, and just plain fun to be with. I have also recommended him to numerous friends and family with the same results. You will have the best fishing trip of your life. You will not be disappointed if you book a trip with Justin. Most of all, you’ll hear the best two words spoken…”Fish On!”

I have fished with Justin Numerous times for trout (both spin & fly techniques), steelhead on the Trinity, stripers, & salmon on the Sacramento over the last five years and ALWAYS CATCH FISH!!!!!! while at times other guides do not.

Justin is extremely knowledgable, patient with all levels of angler skills and a great teacher of the fly fishing techniques needed to make you a very competent angler. All necessary equipment is provided (expect your lunch/beverages of choice) with the boat being spacious and very clean. Justin demeanor is easy going, friendly and attends to the needs of his clients from pick up at hotel (if needed) to cleaning/bagging fish at the end of the day. I can not give a higher recommendation

I have known and been fishing with Justin for over 5 years. Since I fish with guides 5-6 times per year I feel I’m well qualified to offer an opinion. Justin does everything right. He is always on time and his boat/fishing gear is first rate. His knowledge of the rivers and conditions are obvious. My partner and I have fished with him at least 2-3 times per year and have always had a fabulous time. Some trips produced more fish than others but we always left feeling incredibly relaxed and happy for the experience. Justin will spoil the experienced fisherman or the novice.

I’ve been fishing for over 40 years and have hired a lot of guides along the way. Most are lazy and have bad attitudes. One eye on his job and the other watching his wrist watch.
Justin is not that guy. He is by far the hardest working guide I’ve ever fished with.
One trip my buddy and I had already caught over 40 fish. We were tired and sore. Justin could have towed us back to the dock and we wouldn’t have said a word. He kept working until the very last minute. I can’t tell you exactly how many fish we caught that day but are arms almost fell off!!
I’ve fished with him for trout, steelhead, and Salmon. I booked over 8 different trips and all were stellar!
Justin is the best!!
