Steve had us out on the water early in the morning and was the perfect guide--knowledgeable, patient, and fun to spend the day with. A few of us were new to fishing, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. Thanks to his expertise, we quickly caught our limit of both Coho and Chinook! If you're looking for a professional, patient, and skilled fishing guide who knows the waters inside and out, Steve is your guy. We'll definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!

We did forget our cooler but other people were well prepared and we're quick to provide us with anything we asked for out of basic necessity like one single bottle of water. we were going out on a standard little inflatable boat, nothing fancy and we were out on the water for maybe an hour, but we did give up and go in because the jet skis are an issue. Everyone has a jet ski, there's so many jet skis! As we were packing up, the sheriff showed up and was starting to crack down on them, looking at lifejackets and parking permits, and some of them were starting to leave thank goodness, but we had already had our fill of their noise. Several of the jet skis were coming extremely close to our boat, which of course we don't have the reactivity that they do since we were motorless, and it felt incredibly uncomfortable overall. The view was gorgeous for three dollars. It was a fun experience and I definitely would come back and enjoy looking at other parts of the park. If you come prepared in the morning and set up a clear space for you and your loved ones this could be a fun all day experience, but don't be afraid to stand your ground against the jet skiers as They need to follow the rules and respect everyone's boundaries and safety. There was plenty of parking and there's a vault toilet on site by the bar so that was convenient too.

Lol my ship cost me 100 bucks...this kid comes back with a 600 dollar Sonic Wake super catamaran speedboat capable of doing over 120 mph on the water. I just about had a cow.

That cleared from 1 side of the pond to the other in less than 15 seconds!! It woulda took my ship about 15 minutes to sail it. What a fun day.

I was told they were too busy today to do it and asked when would be a good time to bring it in. The girl at the front counter called back and then informed me after the measure 114 scare is over. I told her that's not what they said last week when I picked my rifle up and that they were doing a scope mount at that time. she just apologized and here I am with a rifle with no fixed sites and no scope mounted on it either. Although I have bought many times from this place in the past the service just continues to decline. I'll take my business and money somewhere else in the future.
