There are no guarantees in fishing. The water levels were low and the temperatures high—not ideal conditions—but John stayed optimistic and resourceful. He found the right spot, and we got lucky, landing two impressive salmon, each over 20 lbs!

John was amazing. Even before we headed out, I knew the conditions were tough and the chances of catching a king salmon were low. I treated it as an opportunity to learn from John, who is full of knowledge and decades of experience. Despite arriving last, we ended up catching a good-sized Chinook by the end of the trip. I’ll definitely be fishing with John again in the future!

John is an exceptional guide, known for his dedication and willingness to go the extra mile, particularly for those who are ready to explore by foot. When we planned our weekend getaway, we were aware that things might not go as planned, especially after our initially scheduled guide had to cancel. However, John not only salvaged our experience by taking us night fishing, but he also ensured our Saturday morning was filled with more angling adventures when our previous attempts fell short.

John excels in the art of fishing around Oswego and its neighboring areas. During our recent excursion on a weekend marked by heavy rainfall, unfavorable conditions such as high water levels and swift currents prevailed. Despite these challenges, John's expertise shone through as he navigated us to the perfect spots where we encountered remarkable success. While others struggled, we were the sole group consistently hooking and reeling in impressive kingfish. Rest assured, entrusting your fishing adventures to John guarantees a fulfilling experience without disappointment.
