(There is a built in cooler on the kayak however we do not allow you to put the fish you catch in that cooler unless they are in a sealed bag.
  • What happens in the event that it is too windy to kayak?
    your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. If the wind conditions reach 10 miles per hour (mph) or more, we do not allow kayaks on the water due to safety reasons. In such cases, we have a policy in place to ensure your experience is not compromised. If we determine that it is unsafe to proceed with the rental due to high winds, you will receive an email notification in advance, explaining the situation and the necessary steps to re-schedule your rental at no additional charge. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and we strive to provide you with the best possible experience within safe conditions. In the event of a cancellation (48 hours before trip) instead of rescheduling due to weather conditions, we offer a 50% refund of the rental fee as a gesture of goodwill. We value your understanding and cooperation in prioritizing safety. Please note that our team closely monitors weather conditions to make informed decisions regarding rental operations, ensuring your safety and the best possible experience on the water. If you have any concerns or questions about weather-related cancellations or rescheduling, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team. We are here to assist you and ensure that your kayaking experience with us is safe, enjoyable, and memorable. Thank you for choosing [Your Company Name] for your kayaking adventure, and we look forward to providing you with a fantastic experience on the water.
  • Is it hard to pedal the Hobie pro angler kayaks?
    No! They are extremely easy to pedal, maintaining a speed of 3mph is fairly easy, the top speed of the kayak depending on circumstances is about 6mph.
  • What areas do you guide?
    Freshwater lakes and rivers throughout the state. We go where the fish are biting! Alder lake is a common place for kokanee fishing. Custom trips are also an option. We may not provide services in Lake Washington or the Columbia River downstream of the Longview Bridge or target shellfish or fish in the salt due to regulations.

Family had an awesome time. Spectacular locations yielding great Kokanee. Very thoughtfully prepared and fully equipped Hobie Kayak. Simple directions provided to operate the fully equipped Hobie. We will look to his services when our family requires an additional craft on the area lakes.

The experience that Tyler provides is monumental. We went for a 6 hour excursion to Alder Lake. The views were almost at a sensory overload. Such awesome beauty.
The fishing is world class lake fishing. Water was very calm, water temp was perfect. 7 good sized fish including a small mouth bass.
I can’t wait till our next outing. Tyler makes the whole experience feel as easy as can be.
5 stars isn’t enough. See you soon Tyler!!
