Hi, Wade.

I wanted to pass along a world of thanks for an incredible fishing adventure and the great time you showed me and my brother last week.

Having been to Alaska half a dozen times on fishing adventures, Barry and I were expecting pretty good fishing and some beautiful landscape. I wasn’t expecting the best fishing I have ever done, seen, or heard of. The quality, quantity and variety of fish you put us on was beyond anything we could have imagined. Doubles and triples every day didn’t make my list of expectations prior to the trip.

Also not on my list of expectations; the class A accommodations and service we experienced. The camp was immaculate. The meals were delicious. The service orientation and exceptional good nature of your staff made us feel comfortable and welcome.

Meeting a six-time repeat customer in camp also spoke volumes to the quality of your operation.

This trip is the kind of thing that fishing TV shows are made of… Ha!

Can’t wait to relive the whole experience with the show is done.

Barry and I will surely be back to see you. Next time we’ll bring some friends, because they’d never believe the stories we could tell them. They’ll have to experience it for themselves.

Thanks so much for the best fishing trip ever!
