We had a great trip again. Third time. Limit of lake trout and one king salmon. Even though the conditions were tough they got us on the fish. I will always recommend.

Caught our limit of fish 2 hours before our time was up. Nick and Scott are awesome. Great experience.

2026-07-03T20:02:08.943Z

Captain Nick and Scott are two of the most knowledgeable fishing captains I have ever fished with. They know how to fish and we had a great day.

2026-07-03T20:01:55.511Z

Captain Nick and Scott were incredibly knowledgeable and had us catching fish in no time. They were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond by helping us clean and prepare our catch. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and I highly recommend booking a trip with them!

Captain Nick and First Mate Scott showed us a great time! We caught 25 salmon in about 4 hours. The boat was roomy and clean and they had all of the fishing equipment you could ever need. We learned that Nick’s 93 year old grandfather hand ties all of the flys we used!

2026-07-03T20:01:23.212Z

Awesome experience. Nick and Scott did an amazing job!!! Great boat and great day to fish. Highly recommend!!!

Very knowledgeable fisherman. He puts you on the fish from lake trout to salmon. You won't just be taking a boat ride you will be catching fish. Great experience with this charter. Definitely would go again. Best deckhand on the lake too.

2026-06-05T17:43:26.648Z

SO AWESOME!!! Nick was the best and very helpful. He taught me so much in just a few hours and we limited out my Dad and myself. I'm new to salmon fishing but have been fishing for 48 years and can't believe how much I learned. What an experience and will definitely be going back to SPENDTHRIFT!!! THANK YOU NICK!!!
