We caught plenty of Walleye in just a couple of hours with Vern and ended up keeping more than 20 fish. To finish the trip, Vern took me to target my first Sturgeon. After an exciting 40-minute fight, we landed a 61⁄2-foot gentle giant! Vern is an excellent guide with great communication, quality equipment, and the local knowledge to consistently put you on fish. I'll definitely be booking another trip with him!

I've been fortunate to fish with Vern and Taylar on several trips targeting a variety of species. Vern knows exactly what it takes to put clients on fish and keep smiles on their faces. He's professional, punctual, and provides top-quality gear—from the hooks to the boat. Whether you're after Salmon, Steelhead, Walleye, Sturgeon, Bass, or other species, Vern has the knowledge and experience to make your trip a success. I highly recommend booking a trip with him!

If you're looking for a memorable fishing experience, Vern is the guide to book! He always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has the opportunity to catch fish and, most importantly, enjoy their time on the water. Whether you're fishing the Lower Columbia, Brewster, or the Clearwater River in Idaho, Vern knows where to find the fish. He does an excellent job making sure kids have a great time and create lasting memories. You won't regret booking a trip with Vern—and chances are you'll be planning your next trip before the first one is over!

We had an incredible time fishing for Spring Chinook at Drano with Vern! Not only did he put us on our limit, but he was also a pleasure to spend the day with. He's patient with beginners, great with kids, and truly appreciates veterans. One thing that stood out was seeing other guides turn to Vern for advice, which speaks volumes about his knowledge and experience. We feel lucky to have shared the day with him and can't wait to book another trip!

Excellent trip! Vern and his brother Nick were fantastic. They put us on plenty of Walleye and were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the day. They even brought a flat-top grill so we could cook breakfast on the water. Highly recommend booking a trip with them!

Captain Vern always goes the extra mile to put me on fish! Since I started fishing with him, I've landed my personal best Coho, Steelhead, Sturgeon, and Walleye. His knowledge, dedication, and hard work make every trip a success. I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Vern!
