Dan is a fantastic guide. My buddy and I went with him and had a great time. Not only is he an expert at what he does but he also has a awesome sense of humor and knows how to make the experience enjoyable. We bobber fished tidewater for chinook and we all filled our tags by lunch time. I am from Minnesota and it was my first time fishing in Oregon but I am definitely coming back every year from now on and will be using Dan as a guide.

I have had the opportunity to get to know Dan during the past year and have fished with him several times. He is not only a knowledgable and competent guide, he is a great guy as well. I always look forward his positive attitude and drive to get us on fish. In fact, I can't wait for tomorrow to come when we tackle Fall Chinook at the coast.

Booked Dan for my first steelhead trip this past week. Dan was an excellent teacher and a very gracious host! We fished the Clack and I caught my first steelhead, about a 7-8 lb. wild hen. What a fight! I am hooked for life!! I can't wait for my next trip with Dan in about a week! I highly recommend Dan!!!

A good guide will put you on fish. A great guide will show you a good time. An excellent guide does both. Dan is an excellent guide.

I have been wanting to get out on a guided trip fro quite some time. When I was finally able to get the time I booked with Dan. He came highly recommended. I couldn't be more excited about the trip we had. Dan put us on fish and we all had a blast. I will will book again.

Dan is one of the hardest working guides I have fished with. He has top notch equipment and will take the time to show you the ins and outs of steelhead fishing. From beginners to a lifetime fisherman, everyone will learn new tricks and have a great time doing it. His passion for fishing is infectious and will keep you excited for that next cast all day long. I can't wait for the next trip down the river with Dan.

Dan is a beast. He has a great sense of humor and knows how to put fish in the boat.

I booked a trip with Dan for my wife's birthday. My wife and I have been on several guided trips prior to Dan. Dan is a Class Act. Great sensor of humor. VERY knowledgeable and willing to teach you all the ins and outs of steelhead fishing. He put us on fish when almost everyone we talk to was struggling. On the second to the last day we were able to catch a chinook or steelhead. My wife landed a 27lb chinook. Thank you Dan for the priceless day of memories. We will be back for more guided trips.

Dan put us places others rowed right on by and thats where the fish were. He's knowledgeable of the rivers he guides and explains baits/lures and technique. It's not just a fishing trip, it's a day at school... a good day at school.

I had a great time with Dan, he took my daughter and I out on the Nestucca and proved that he can put you right on top of the fish. We each got a big Steelhead and had several more opportunities that were just as fun as the two we caught. You couldn't ask for more fun than fishing with Dan. Thanks Dan we had a lot of fun..
