1/28/11 - Ken Vaughn of North Bend: Great weather, Great guides and fishing! |
1/14/11 - Angel & Roger Fleek and their son Mitchell: A Great Day of Fishing! 15 in all! Beautiful 50+ degree day & sunny. Need to come back again (after working on our shoulder exercises so we'll be ready!) Andy kept us busy hitting the fish regularly! Great Guide! |
2/5/2011 Steve and Dan Woods: Had an outstanding day on the water. Caught fish consistently all day. Andy was great with all his advice and effort to keep us on fish. Best day on the water in years. |
2/5/2011 Mike and Pat Gibson: Beautiful day, good fishing, and great guide. (Jeff) |
2/21/2011 Mark and Sue Robinson. Jeff is awesome. Great guide, beautiful scenery. Open up new recreational fix at our home at Chelan. Can't wait to take granddaughter fishing. |
2/22/2011 Justin and Jared Joyner: Great day at the water with friend and son. I learned another one of Washington's beautiful fisheries with a wealth of information with both guides. ( Andy and Jeff) |
2/23/2011 Edmond Sanctis: It was not a typical day for fishing with temps in the 20's and steady snowfall. Anton and Jeff braved the elements and everybody in our party landed at least one nice lake trout. Great day but we're ready for a toasty fireplace. |
2/23/2011 Mike Flortre and Traci Todd: It was very cold, snow half of the day. I usually get cold but today I was very comfortable. (Traci) I like the guides and the effort that is put into the fishing. I will come back again. (Mike) |
2/27/2011 Daven Dynes: Very fun and relaxing. Anton and Jeff make it a point to make us comfortable and warm. Very pleasant experiences and plan on doing it again soon. |
2/19/2011 Devin Page, Casey Willis: We really did work on the Lake Trout. Devin beat Casey in the one on one derby. Nice day. |
2/15/2011 Albert Stubbs: Good conversation , swapped fishing stories. Good day, good weather, good fishing and conversation. We will fish with you again. 8lb. 3 oz. Biggest trout I every caught. (Rufus Woods Triploid) |
2/13/2011 Randy Cole: Andy was great and fun to be with. Sleepy fish didn't walk up until 9:30 a.m. much like Andy said! Had a blast- my arms will ache tomorrow! Cleaning brings another two in! |
2/12/2011 Drew Kocher: We enjoyed the ease at which Anton repaired the downrigger after the line came off the spool. Nice job! We enjoyed the information, not only local fisheries, but in the Northwest region. We needed this time together to get us out of our winter doldrums. Great job from both of you, and we will be back. |
2/12/2011 Don Starkweather: Beautiful weather, fantastic fishing. Would suggest your service to anybody. Like Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid, the fish say "Who are those guys?" |
2/18/2011 Gordon Lueck: Great trip with Anton and Jeff. Cold and snowy day with consistent bites throughout the half day. Seven in the boat with as many more biting. A great 11 pounder in the boat. Thanks again, Anton and Jeff. We'll be back. |
3/5/2011 Randy and Sandra Woodson: Met Jeff at dock and he did everything to make our day comfortable and enjoyable. He was very personable and friendly and made this our first trip to Lake Chelan one to remember and want to do again. |
3/7/2011 Jon and David Crawford: Great Day- Never had a guide work this hard before. (Anton) |
3/12/2011 Ted Couch on Lake Chelan with Anton: Friendly, knowledgeable guide, top notch equipment and to top it off the biggest trout I have ever caught! (10 lb. Laker) I learned tons of things about fishing and can't wait to come back! |
3/14/2011 Puget Sound Anglers group: Any day fishing with Anton is a better day than at work. All 4 of us had a great time fishing. We stayed in the Hideaway and it's as nice as any 4 star hotel. He has two nice boats to fish out of. |
3/14/2011 Alex Yunin, age 10: It was fantastic because everyone made fun of me. Then I caught a monster. (10 lb. Laker) |

Great meeting Gary on this trip- nice gentleman. Nice to come home to "my lake". Wish the weather was sunny but a great trip on the lake! |
5/20/11 Dave Mitchell, Vince Santeford: Great time Many memorable times: catching the line with a fish and someone else's lure, watching Anton try to stab his own hand, and getting a fish that had been caught following the chum line. Thanks for a great day in the sunshine. |
5-17-11 David and Doris Wilding from Utah wrote " The not funny thing was Doris caught the two biggest fish. Enjoyed the sunshine and blue sky after days of rain. Anton is fun to watch- dedicated, hard working fisherman. He is totally focused on catching fish. We had an awesome time. Thanks. |
10-18-11 Good morning, I wanted to let you know how much Janet and I appreciated the stay at the Hideaway and how much I enjoyed the fishing charter. Jeff and Brian were awesome and did a great job. We landed 16 fish into the boat for me which blew my mind. Jeff and Brian are very professional and were also great company on the lake. I will definitely be booking my charters for your area with your crew again. Those two are pro! Thank you, Justin Dubos AND to Jeff, the guide: Hey man, I really appreciate the fishing trip on Saturday. That was a lot of fun and a good time. You guys really know how to fish and I'm still bragging about the (16) landed Mackinaws. They do taste great and you are right about not over seasoning it. Thanks and hope to fish with you guys again, Justin Dubos. |

11-13-11 I would like to tell you that our fishing experience with Jeff and Brian was great. The Cato, father and son fishing team, enjoyed the two days of fishing, catching and releasing fish bigger than we have ever caught before was something else. The trip up and down the river-lake with the scenery was wonderful, the weather from cold to warm, sunny to rain, foggy to clear, covered the whole range of conditions. Jeff and Brian are great teachers in the art of fishing and with good tales of past adventures, both my son son and I will do this again. Till next time thank you and your team for the outstanding outing. Jim & Mike Cato |
