I once again have to thank Steve for a great day on the Salmon with him and my 9-year-old daughter, Miranda. The pictures in gallery brought it all back to me, but especially to her.

It was one of the last times we fished the Salmon, about a year and a half ago. Steve offered to take us down the river due to the water being high and my daughter having little or no hope of getting to the fish without his boat.

He not only put her into 5 chinook, of which the smallest being upwards of 25lbs, but he also talked to her and made her feel like she was a real fisherman/woman. That day on the river made me feel proud that I was sharing this experience with my daughter and it also assured me of a fishing partner for the rest of my days; she is hooked.

There is nothing I can say to thank Steve for his professionalism as a guide except I cannot wait to get back to the United States and hit the river with him and other friends again.

Super, great, fun-tastic is what I have to say about Angling Adventures and its owner.

Steve, what a great time myself and friends had on the river fishing with you. You made us feel like we’ve known you our whole lives, along with catching a lot of nice fish.

If anybody out there loves fishing and life this is the guy to book because I think, no, I know he loves them both. He’s doesn’t hold anything back showing you how to catch fish and doing anything he can to make sure a great time is shared by all on the river.

I would have no problem calling him a friend. THANKS AGAIN for a great time.

P.S. Call or write anytime and let me know when the bigs Browns are running.

Steve,

Just wanted to let you know what a great time I had fishing with you in April of 2003. Since I never fished for Steelhead before I really had no clue what to expect.

Although the fishing was tough, your knowledge of the area and of the fish enabled me to land my first ever Steelhead, a beautiful 13-pound hen.

I was not only blown away with the quality of the fish but also the quality of my guide. You took the time to show me the proper way to rig, fish, and fight these magnificent fish. You made me feel like we have known each other our whole lives.

I can honestly say I feel like I made a new friend. I look forward to booking a few more days with you in the fall and will try my best to get the friend I talked about the whole trip to come up with me.

Thanks for a great trip.

When I scheduled a float trip with you I had very specific goals in mind.

My father and I had been fishing the Salmon River for about 10 years (seasonally) and had thought we knew what the heck we were doing. We’d been tight to a lot of fish over the years on the lower end, but had never really seen the upper river in its entirety.

After picking your brain on our “sightseeing” tour and taking copious amounts of notes on everything, we knew we’d witnessed a revolution.

From holes to runs, flies, weight, leader size, times of year, definitions of terms, fish tendencies, techniques etc. etc. etc., you unloaded a ton of knowledge and positively changed the whole perception of the fishery for us.

Even though there was a trickle of fish that day, you still knew the exact right spots to put us on to fish.

We’re also very happy to report that we took all of our new found knowledge to the DSR the next two days and had a much greater number of hook-ups than our fellow fishermen! Unreal! Your warmth, humor and no BS attitude were a pleasure to be around for the day.

My father and I still speak of that great trip to this day; the knowledge you have disseminated is absolutely priceless.

Thanks again and hope to see you on the river soon.
