Our group, two anglers from Japan, booked a trip with Captain Dan to target steelhead. Having never caught steelhead before, we finally succeeded thanks to Captain Dan’s patient guidance and encouragement! He was incredibly supportive, shared many helpful tips, and kept the conversation lively and enjoyable. We spent an amazing day out on the water, highlighted by our thrilling first steelhead catch. We truly appreciate the memorable experience Captain Dan helped create for us before we return to Japan next weekend. It was a fantastic trip, and he did an excellent job putting us on the fish.
