They acted like horses compared to my Montana spring creek Rainbows Craig Roberts
You & Kate ... are outstanding people and role models Richard Voss
In our days floating down the river, we encountered the rainbow trout in its rarest form — completely wild, ferocious and faster than a speeding bullet Paul Greenberg
I can't seem to get the wilderness, the abundance of fish, & the whole camping experience out of my mind. I have never experienced anything similar and I am addicted. Sam Carlisle
I have a flood of memories from Alaska, but the most remarkable ones were fishing with Mark John Markoff
Mark, Thank you many times over for a perfect trip. All your planning and attention really shows Ken Helfenbein
Just then a large grizzly appeared through the willows at the far bank. It was a great Alaska scene. I will continue to explore Alaska with Mark as long as I hold up. John Merritt
There was a hard strike with jumps and hollers to match my excitement. Such magnificent beings these Silver Bullet Coho are. Amy Robinson
A week filled with fish, great food, magnificent camp sites, spectacular vistas, wildlife sightings, fun and, most of all, good people Bob Erickson
