A Happy Client
"I have known and fished with Ted for over 20 years. He is not only a guide but also my friend. We have been fishing even before he started his guiding service. He was able to take my dad on his last fishing trip. A memory that will always be treasured. He has taken my family fishing and is very patient with my kids, teaching them how to fish and catch steelhead. I have taken buddies of mine, who have never fished the river before, and Capt. Ted put them on their first fish. He is very professional and accommodating to all clients. I would recommend Capt. Ted for your next fishing trip."

Only charter I’ll use!!Posted on Luke HulsebusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ted was awesome! We went out to celebrate a bachelor party with a few guys and it was most of our first times on a boat and fishing the lake, and Ted made it something we will remember for a long long time! He was a pleasant host and an extremely patient person, just follow the rules of the boat and take care to listen to what he has to say! I hope that many others will have a good experience with him on the lake or in the river!!Posted on Maxx GarciaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We placed third today in a women’s tournament and had a great time! I would highly recommend him if you want a successful day on the water!Posted on Lloyd AndrewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took a 10 and 8 year old out with Ted, they had a great time. He was patient with the kids and kept them entertained by keeping us on the fish. Great family time. They said they want to go fishing with Ted "every day."Posted on Greg HydukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Ted was very professional, had great equipment and boat. He had to move around but put us on the steelhead.Posted on Jon & Emmy LutesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for an amazing fishing experience, look no further than Penrod & Reel Guide Service! My brother, dad, and I have been fishing with Ted annually for over 10 years, and each trip has been fantastic. Ted is incredibly knowledgeable about fishing and always makes sure to put us on the fish, whether we're out on the river or the big lake. His professionalism, expertise, and fun-loving attitude make every trip memorable. Whether you're a first-time fisherman or an experienced angler, I highly recommend booking with Captain Ted for an unforgettable adventure. Can't wait to fish with you again next year, Captain Ted!Posted on Drew WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Ted is TOP NOTCH! I spent YEARS trying to land a steelhead, alone and with hired guides both. Ted, however, not only helped me land my first, but MULTIPLE steelhead in our outing together! His boat was comfortable and warm while we fished in low 40 degree weather, he was super knowledgeable and extremely patient with us. Overall I’d give 10 stars if I could! We’re already looking forward to the next trip!Posted on Keith McKayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love fishing with Penrod. He knows where to fish, when, and instructs on how to do it with coaching along the way.
