All the other messages post only touch the tip of the iceberg for my experience with Rick!!! I have been Steelhead fishing all over the Westside and on March 13th I found the River of Rivers in the Grand Ronde. My brother-in-law Tim and I learned so much in one day from Rick that I will be heading down to the GR this weekend and with what I learned from Rick I plan on having another limited day!!! "Fish On"

Last Sunday we enjoyed a fantastic trip fishing with Rick on the Grande Ronde. Last Fall we came down to fish with Rick but the weather didn't cooperate so Rick was gracious enough to invite us back this month for a second try, for free! The day started with a great breakfast at Bogan's Oasis, followed by a quick trip to the river. Rick wasted no time getting us fishing, and of course, he had everything setup and ready to go. First class service is something we've come to expect from Rick. He is extremely knowledgable and enjoys teaching his clients how to fish. He constantly encourages us and is always right there when you need a hand. Not only did my father-in-law catch his first Steelhead, he caught 7 in just a few hours! We ended the day hooking 20 fish, landing 15, and going home with our daily limit of 10 Steelhead! Thanks again Rick for a wonderful time on the Grande Ronde and we're looking forward to the next trip.

Another awesome trip with Rick on the GR! 18 Steelhead landed + many more on :). Rick went out of his way to make sure my son Jon (with a broken leg) was on fish. Then he left Jon and I on the bank and took my son Drew slightly down river for a lesson on bobber and jig fishing! Drew hooked 2 and landed 3 fish during the lesson. How awesome is that! Can't thank you enough Rick.....

Last week we had another phenomenal trip with Rick. We took our 11 year old daughter and we all had a blast. Rick has the fishing knowledge of an old-timer, great teaching ability of your favorite teacher, and the patience to make anyone comfortable and confident. Our 11 year old daughter not only caught her first fish she was able to catch several more including a 10 lb wild that she fought like she had been doing it for years (after Rick's help with earlier fish). Thanks again Rick, and we look forward to another trip.

I can't imagine a more memorable trip. Rick is energetic, extremely competent and knowledgeable, patient, enthusiastic, friendly and provides the best service I have ever had in a guide that is 100% focused on the customer. He truly loves the art of coaching and was succesful in helping my brother and I catch our first steelhead....followed by 16 more for a total of 18. ...this after 5 years of trying on the west side of the mountains years ago when we were kids. I could not imagined a better trip and Rick is worth every penny we paid and much more. I would and have already recommended Rick to friends and my brother and I will without a doubt come back. Thanks for a truly remarkable experience.
