ABOUT YOUR GUIDE
Captain Seth Waters
A little about myself, I've been fishing before I could even tie my shoes. Before my professional years, I would spend my time with my grandfather in the river searching for these notorious fish. Often talking about his "good old days" and what techniques have moved on and what techniques are up and coming. I'm grateful to say we still do this to this very day. I am very passionate about this sport. When I'm not working you will catch me rowing him down the river looking for our next catch. Whether it be sport, or the rush or for our next meal. I work very hard to pursue these very special fish. I want each trip to turn out as everyone planned. I take a lot of pride in that. There's always going to be something bringing me back to the water. I welcome you and everyone of all ages to come join me for a trip that will be unforgettable. As I pass along to you my knowledge that I've picked up from Northern California all the way up to the rivers in south central Alaska. I am license by the state of California and received my merchant mariner's credentials by the United States Coast Guard, bonded and insured. Take a journey through some of the most scenic water this part of the country has to offer with me, Seth Waters
