SUTTON'S GUIDE SERVICE
If you're not wanting to book a trip with 6 other people
you don't know or if you've been turned down because your by
yourself or perhaps you just want to fish with a very valued
client, employee or boss and not have to share the boat with
4 or 5 others you don't even know then contact me. I can
take big groups too but I specialize in groups of 1-3 people
and will let you have the boat to yourself if you request
it! I've been raised fishing for Salmon and Steelhead in SW
Washington waters and I truly doubt if you will find anyone
anywhere who knows these waters better than I do. |
