Angler Comments about fishing salmon in Ontario Canada
Hello John
Thank you for a wonderful time. Your Professionalism and skills eclipsed all our expectations. I suspect our group will be back again and we will have other groups form too. The Salmon has been cooked in many ways and in many homes to many's delight!! You wouldn't believe the stories that have grown out of this trip, then again you might.

I don't know how to thank you for the wonderful day we spent with you on Lake Ontario. Your professionalism allowed us to capture splendid steelhead as well as a superb 26 lb Salmon. You are an impressive Fishing Guide who does everything possible to help your clients catch fish. It was the most beautiful fishing trip we have ever taken and it is all thanks to you. This is exactly why we have already reserved our places for next year. Again, John thanks for the great day and can't wait for the next trip!

Hi Captain!
Attached please find some pictures of our fishing trip with you. My parents from Hungary and I had an excellent time fishing with you on the Lake. Your professionalism and customer service made my father's birthday perfect.
Thanks again!
