What Clients Say
Real reviews from real trips
★★★★★We fished with Shaun in early June on a Veteran's fishing day. We fished Stampede Reservoir. We were all back at the dock by 11:00 with limits for each of us. Shaun is a knowledgeable and hard working guide. Thank you Shaun for a fun and productive morning on the water.

★★★★★I'd give Shaun 10 stars if they let me, what a great experience. He put us on the monsters all day and we had such an awesome time relaxing with him and his adorable pooch. Pulling in 2 lakers over 10 lbs and then fish after fish after fish didn't hurt either. I will be going with Shaun's guide service for many years to come.

★★★★★Awesome day on the water with Shaun's guide service. He knows the Donner Lake fishery very well and will put you on fish all day. We caught limits of fish early and had a great time. I recommend Shaun and would love to go out with him again!

★★★★★Wanted to take my 5 year old son on our first fishing experience and Shaun was great. Son had a blast and Shaun was a great guide.
— Arian C.
★★★★★Shaun recently took our family (3 younger kids) on a fishing trip in the Tahoe area. He delivered on his promise of getting us 25 fish (our limit), and we then ate fish for days! Shaun was a great fishing educator for the kids.

Pro-Staff & Equipment
Shaun is pro-staff for Paulina Peak Tackle Company, Yakima Bait, Daiwa, and Scotty Fishing Products. Top-tier gear on every trip.
The main vessel is a 22-foot Boulton Sea Skiff with a full top, side curtains, back drop curtain, and a heater for those cold Donner mornings. It's so warm buttoned up, you'll be comfortable even in winter. For Feather River King Salmon, trips run out of a Design Concepts jet boat that seats four comfortably.
Shaun also offers guide instruction on your boat to help you dial in your catch rate. Call for pricing.
