On 6/22/2026 Mark Day had this to say:
Fishing with Coldwater Charters was an awesome experience. Captain Mike and first mate Steve are top notch!! Captain Mike had my wife and I on fish immediately. They explained what we needed to do when landing fish and everything else that was going on. They payed very close attention and would offer help without being asked. Caught plenty of Salmon and Lake Trout. Captain Mike and Steve are very knowledgeable of the lake and the fish. They keep the boat washed out and clean after every fish caught. They are just good ole boys doing what they love and sharing with everyone they can. Definitely never a dull moment. Friendly and fun. I can’t express how much I would recommend Coldwater Charters for your fishing adventure.

Captain Mike knows where the fish are and puts you on them immediately. His knowledge of a lake is really terrific. His deck hand Steve works extremely hard and knows exactly what lures to use to catch fish. I will fish with Captain Mike again and again.
