Rich has been successfully guiding anglers in the Idaho Panhandle since 1974.

He is now focusing his efforts there, offering the best deepwater trout fishing available. At almost 20 miles in length, the pristine waters of Priest Lake are home to the current U.S. Record Lake Trout of 57 lbs. 8 ozs. Most of the trout you will catch will weigh an honest 4 to 10 lbs. You will also have honest opportunities to catch and release Lake Trout that weigh in excess of 20 to over 45 lbs. The average trip produces from 8 to sometimes over 40 trout landed. These trips are about catching lots of trout!
