Charter fishing should be fun, relaxing, even therapeutic. By providing professional, knowledgeable, experienced guides and all necessary equipment, we are setting the stage for your perfect fishing experience. It doesn’t matter how much fishing you’ve done, we cater to all skill levels. What matters most is that you bring along a positive fishing attitude!

Versatility is what sets Go Fish! Charters apart from other outfits. With over a dozen different fish species spread across five bodies of water, the options are staggering. Even on half day family fun trips we may switch gear, tactics, locations, or target species a number of times depending on conditions. It doesn’t need to be complicated though.

It is best to contact me directly by phone or email so that we can plan a trip just for you.

My earliest and most vivid memories are of fishing with my mom as a young boy. Half a century later, I’m still hooked! I hold a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Biology and have had the extraordinary experience of studying, working, and fishing in some incredibly cool places.

I chose to devote my professional career to outfitting in North Idaho not only because of my passion for fishing and interacting with people, but because Idaho limits outfitting licenses to protect our natural resources and to provide for unparalleled experiences.

Our fleet of boats is specifically designed for the big rugged North Idaho waters we fish. Welded aluminum is the ticket, and we are partnered with some of the best boat builders in the Pacific Northwest. The Koffler Rocky Mountain Trout Boat is ideal for drift fishing one or two guests on the Kootenai River. For those looking for the quiet solitude and sublime scenery of western fly-fishing, this is it. 

For powerboat access to the Clark Fork River, Kootenai River, and various shallow water applications, we fish a customized 20’ Alumaweld Stryker powered with a Yamaha outboard jet. Up to four guests can easily repeat productive drifts, access very shallow water, and land just about anywhere. Paired with Garmin electronics including Livescope forward facing sonar and Force bow-mount trolling motor, the quietest and most powerful electric motor on the market, this boat gets it done.

We are super stoked to introduce our newest boat, a 22’ Hewescraft Evolution, the first welded boat with a sealed bulkhead built and a multi-species layout. This deep-water boat accommodates up to six guests and serves dual purposes as both an open boat for casting or jigging and as a great planer board trolling boat. Rigged with Yamaha outboards and Garmin autopilot, electronics (including Livescope) and bow mount, this is the ultimate lake fishing machine.
