    JD has built an exceptional reputation guiding fishing trips on both Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake, with clients consistently praising his deep knowledge of the waters and his ability to put anglers onto fish. His expertise really shines through at Pyramid Lake, where groups regularly land trophy cutthroat trout weighing 10-25 pounds. The comfortable boat comes equipped with modern technology, and JD's approach makes trips accessible for everyone from first-timers to experienced anglers looking for personal bests. What stands out most is JD's teaching style and genuine passion for the sport. He takes time to instruct newcomers properly, shows respect for fish handling and catch-and-release practices, and creates a welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back trip after trip. Families appreciate how he makes the experience memorable for younger anglers, while seasoned fishermen value his strategic knowledge of where to fish in varying conditions. People routinely book return trips, often upgrading to multi-day adventures after their first outing with him.
