Fun Captain
We had an awesome afternoon fishing with Captain Terry on the Kristy Lynn. Ended up with 13 fish in about 4 hours, about half and half lake trout and salmon. A couple of good size lake trout! Captain Terry was awesome, super chill guy with tons of experience and stories to share. He helped my young cousins with landing their fish and gave them a great experience. The boat is a little on the older side but has an awesome upper deck type area to hang out, get some great views and watch the fishing action! There is also a comfy sofa protected from the wind and plenty of space for everyone to catch their fish - at one point we had three on at the same time!! Also the docking spot is beyond convenient, you can park 5 feet from the boat so no hauling coolers around the docks. Would reccomend this trip for sure!!

Awesome day on the water
This was a Birthday present for my daughter and was her first fishing trip. We had an awesome time and caught 9 rainbows between us. It was windy and the water choppy. My thanks and our deepest appreciation to Terry and his crewman for doing their best to make this a successful and safe outing. We’ll be back.
