"The salmon I caught was my first Atlantic salmon but won't be my last if I can help it. Gary was great! He certainly put us on fish and was very helpful in showing us the casting techniques we needed. The accommodations were great, all in all it’s a nice setup. The spot we were at was quite beautiful and a great place to fish. I am already looking forward to the next trip."
