EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Posted on Google Charles SilversteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Paul as a guide. He knows the waters in and out and has years of experience. We caught a few nice size browns with streamers and he helped me with my cast.Posted on Google George LoomisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've fished with Paul Conklin for steelhead for the past 8 years and will again in the 2026 season. He's super knowledgeable about single and two hand rod casting and is a great teacher for those needing casting instructions. Paul knows the Salmon River very well and has put us on fish many times. You can't find a better river guide than Paul.Posted on Google Steve CharlesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We fished with Paul today on the DSR section of the Salmon River. Absolutely nailed the King Salmon. Paul knew right where to put us. He is an outstanding guide that we would highly recommend.Posted on Google ErockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Last weekend, Paul did a great job guiding us 2 newbies on the Salmon River. We caught some very large kings. Paul is respectful, patient and full of knowledge. Excellent fishing guide.Posted on Google Leo T. StornioloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My buddy Ryan and I had a great full day with Paul at the DSR. The man has a wealth of knowledge and was eager to pass it along. He was easy going and a whole hell of a lot of fun to talk to. He helped us identify fish holds and lies that we may have otherwise just passed by. If you are thinking of heading up to the DSR I wouldn't think twice to book him.Posted on Google Collin HertzlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience fishing with Paul. He guided me on the DSR and had me on nice fish. I learned a ton fishing with Paul and as a newbie to the Salmon River, I was very happy to have fished with him. Not only is Paul a great guide, he is a nice guy who's company I enjoyed being with all day. Thanks for a memorable experience Paul!
