My first trip with JD was in 1999 and I've been going several times a year from California to Alaska ever since! All I can say is he is TOP NOTCH! Literally the best of the best!

“JD is the best guide I’ve ever fished with over 2 decades. He’s got an uncanny sense that pulls fish out of the most surprising places. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, great with my kids, is dedicated to the resource, and unwavering with integrity.”
Vince Thompson Loomis, CA
“I have been fishing with JD for over a decade, all up and down the State of California, for more species than I can easily list. JD is the most knowledgable and talented fisherman I’ve ever known and I’d venture one of the best in the State. If there’s a bite out there, he’ll find it!
