Myself and some of my good friends have been fishing with Toby and some of the best guides in the business for nearly a decade and have always without fail had a great time and always on the fish they are the best of the best and we can’t wait to get back again very soon Marty eagle food

Fishing with family, there’s nothing better! My son and his girlfriend were up here from Texas for Thanksgiving and my nephew from Ellensburg Wa. We booked our trip for the day after Thanksgiving. Travis was our guide and Denali was our 4 legged entertainment! Travis knew where the fish were and how to make them strike our gear. We landed 7 keepers, turned back 1 native, and we missed 2 others. With all the fish we forgot about the cold and the heaters helped! Travis bbq us burgers for lunch about mid day. Back on the river 5 minutes later and we had another fish on! Travis Wendt and Reel Time are a class act and they take care of the clients! Can’t go wrong with the locals at Reel Time!

I have fished with several guide services over the years and Reel Time is the best. They are willing to accommodate singles and doubles on there vessels. Fished with Travis on 11-10-22 with another single and a couple. He worked hard for us to make sure we caught fish. Had a great time and had our limit by 3:00 I will certainly fish with them again and would recommend Reel Time Fishing to anyone considering a trip on this fishery.

We just had an incredible day with Jeff on the Clearwater . Part of our group had not fished before and two were repeat customers with Jeff. We had a day where not two many people we landing fish and we almost caught our limit! Jeff knows where to find the fish and have fun doing it! He made sure that he took very good care of us and cooked up an amazing burger with a smile! I caught my first steelhead at almost 14 pounds! I had no clue that this was not an everyday occurrence. We will be back and definitely with Jeff. Thanks for your patience and great attitude.

I have fished with Toby Wyatt on the Hanford Reach for 3 years and he has never failed to put in maximum effort to send you home with fish. This year was the toughest because of a cold front that came through which shut the bite off. But Toby persevered, trying different spots on the river and different techniques until he got each of the three of us on board a nice, bright fall Chinook salmon. He is one of the top 3 guides among the 3 dozen or so guides I have used over the past 50 years and I would recommend him highly. He works hard, has good equipment and is always in good spirits. A great guy and a great guide.

Me and two of my buddies had a great time. Jeff was an awesome guide. Fishing for sturgeon was a “bucket list” item for me and “Reel Time Fishing” hit a home run. I caught a 7 ft. 9 in sturgeon. My buddies got a 7 ft. 10 in and a 5 ft. 6 in respectively. These were all personal bests. Jeff even cooked us burgers for lunch. This was truly a 5 star guided trip. I would recommend “Reel Time Fishing” to anyone…I know I’ll be back.

Me and my husband went fishing for sturgeon with our guide Jeff and it was the best time EVER! Jeff was on time, made us very comfortable and took care of everything. It was chilly in the morning but warmed up when the sun came out. We weren’t out long and my husband got a 3 ft surgeon and it was a lot of fun. Then I got the next one and it ended up being a 8ft. 4 in. sturgeon. So fun to pull it in. Not a half hour later, my husband hooked a 9ft sturgeon and it took about an hour. It’s hard but not difficult to pull one in but so fun and exciting!!! We go to Mexico every yr and fish for Sail fish & mahi & this is so much more fun to pull in. Jeff made us some delicious hot BBQ burgers on the beach which was such a treat and nice break. Jeff, thank you for the best day for my husbands birthday and all the wonderful memories we will have forever.

We fished with reeltime for two days. Jeff was our guide and was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Due to the low number of Steelhead crossing the dams this year we weren’t sure how successful we would be. Jeff put us on fish both days and for 4 of us we landed 11 steelhead. We were thrilled with number of fish we caught. As a bonus, Jeff threw out a sturgeon rod at lunch time and we ended up landing an 8 footer. We will definitely use reeltime again.

Reel Time guide Travis Wendt worked hard and did everything to get us on fish. They steelhead simply would not cooperate. Travis is a true professional, experienced, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Great sled, provides high end gear and equipment, precisely on time and ready to go. I will definitely rebook with Travis. He cooks great burgers and brats for lunch. 5 STAR GUIDE ***** & OUTFIT !

My son booked a trip Steelhead fishing on the Clearwater in January. The Guide was Travis Wendt and I wanted to comment on how wonderful our guide was. Travis was an awesome guide showing patience, kindness, and great knowledge of how to catch Steelhead. My son has booked several different trips with Travis and formed a great relationship. I went fishing 37 years prior to the Clearwater and caught a 38 inch 17 1/2 lbs. Steelhead that I had mounted. I can’t believe it has taken that long to return to the Clearwater. I would recommend Travis Wendt to anyone that wants to book a trip and enjoy catching fish. Thank you so much.

Myself & 2 friends booked a sturgeon trip on the Snake river in Hells Canyon. One of my friends is working on his bucket list, and this is one of the things he wanted to do. I also have always wanted to catch a dinosaur, so away we went! Tom was our guide for the all day trip & was great right from the start. Very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We left wondering how well the weather was going to be, since it had been bad the last 2 days. But the weather was pretty good for the whole trip, we got a little rain & wind, but not bad. On the 2nd hole, we hooked a 6’7″ fish that Tom had a great time reeling in. Once on the beach after about 20 minutes, he got to take selfies with it :)! We fished a few more holes & talked the whole way about different things. About 11 am we had a big hit on one of the rods & I grabbed a hold & away we went for over 30 minutes. He had said it was a big fish & it was. It jumped 3 times, once just a couple of feet off the bow. It wound up being 8’8″ & weighed what I thought was a Volkswagon Beetle! Tom told us he had never seen this particular fish, as we had talked before how some of the ones they keep catching get names, since they are very identifiable. Later we had some brats that Tom cooked up for us, which we washed down with beer. We didn’t catch another one, but all in all it was a wonderful day & trip! I’d do it again when it gets a little warmer probably!

Went Chinook fishing with Travis at Hanford Reach. It was a great day with luck better than other boats we talked to. Travis continually went back to his bag of tricks – changing colors, refilling the tuna fish in the lures regularly, and later on back trolling with new types of baits. This was the best trip we’ve been on in a long time. Travis made the trip what it was and was a great conversationalist to boot! Thanks Reel Time!
