Simply put, Ray is my favorite fishing guide.

I average four to five guided trips per year in a variety of fisheries, but fishing with Ray on the Peninsula Rivers has become my favorite. Ray is always impeccably prepared and his drift boat is awesome. Bottom line is we catch fish!

Mark,

I wanted to thank you for a great trip, thanks for being so great with the boys. They had a blast. William drew a pink salmon picture at dinner that you wouldn't believe. I hope all is well. Please send me some info on the Alaska Fishing Trip.

Thanks,

Mark,

I can't thank you enough for my first trip on the Humptulips River, not only was the company great but the fishing was excellent! It's now down in my calendar as a firm annual date for fall Kings and Coho salmon. Out of 3 trips now this year you have earned both my repeat business and my friendship for many years to come. Your a class act mate all the way!

My dad and I are looking forward to the November trip and I know that Phil and I will enjoy the fishing in December too.

All the best,

Hi Mark,

We had a great time. If you hadn’t noticed, my son is pretty quiet and doesn’t have much to say, but afterward he commented again and again how much he enjoyed the day, and how fun it was to land a fish. I think he’s been bitten by the fishing bug now, so that’s great.

Anyway, hope you have a great summer!

Fishing with Ray is a real joy. His attitude is always upbeat and positive. He is polite and professional, but also knows how to have fun. I felt safe in the boat with obviously capable hands. He did his homework on the areas we fished because when I got there he knew just what was working and we caught fish. I had a wonderful experience and would gladly fish with Ray again anytime. Thanks for the great time.

When it comes to guides, you can't beat Mark Coleman.

He knows the river, and will work hard to put you on the fish, all at the same time becoming best friends with your son or daughter. Mark's the kind of person you think of more as a good friend than a stiff guide.
