This was our second year using Brock. We had a great time last year and limited both days with him this year. He made sure to get us on the fish the entire day. He is a tireless guide and is happy to help the entire time. I highly recommend him to any and all that want to go home with pounds and pounds of salmon.

This trip was truly a bucket-list experience! We landed several massive sturgeon, including an incredible 8-foot giant that we'll never forget. Brock was outstanding from start to finish. He was highly skilled, professional, and easily one of the friendliest fishing guides we've ever had. His knowledge, patience, and passion for fishing made the day even more enjoyable. My wife and I had an amazing time and created memories that will last a lifetime. We highly recommend booking a trip with Brock!

You can’t control a salmon run that never shows up, but Brock did everything possible to put us on fish and make the most of the day. Even though the fishing was slower than expected, his hard work, positive attitude, and local knowledge made the trip enjoyable and memorable. We appreciated the effort he put in from start to finish. The fish may not have cooperated this time, but we'll be back. Next time, the fish will be there! – Scott & Pam

We had an excellent time on the water and landed four impressive sturgeon. Even though it was outside the harvest season, the action kept us entertained throughout the trip. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. His lifelong fishing experience and deep understanding of the local waters really showed. It was great getting to know him, and he worked hard to make the trip enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to coming back for salmon season. Highly recommended! 10/10.

Awesome trip, awesome guide!!! Couldn't have asked for a better time with Capt. Brock. I took my 10 year old son and Capt. Brock was more than patient and accommodating. Thank you for creating a lasting memory for me and my son. See you next year! Scott & Van

Awesome. Had a great time. Tagged out 3 hours in. Brock is super knowledgeable and knows the Columbia river like the back of his hand. Next time we fish this area, we’ll definitely book Brock again!

I booked a charter with Capt. Brock for myself and my two teenage sons, and the whole experience was outstanding. Before the trip, we exchanged several messages to plan the day around our interests, and I appreciated his flexibility. At my request, we started a little later than usual and focused on sturgeon. Brock made everything easy, and we all caught fish. It was an amazing day on the water.

"Captain Brock is unparalleled – truly the best guide I've ever had. His extensive knowledge of the area, coupled with his expertise as a pilot boat operator, made the trip exceptional. Despite slower fishing, we still managed to reel in eight fish. I highly recommend Brock!"
