“…Captain Desmond put us on the fish first stop. We landed 8 sturgeon, made a short move, and landed 4 more. He was great with my two grandsons, both first-timers. Will fish with him any time I can. Overall a great day!”
“…Desmond’s knowledge of not only fishing but of the Columbia River was impressive. Desmond did a great job of explaining the lures and techniques, which helped me catch my first springer of the year. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a fishing guide.”
