I went fishing with Cal and Wes and couldn’t of had a better time, if you are thinking about going on a trip book it. I caught my limit of nice trout and soon will be booking a trip with my wife and myself so she can experience the fun I had.

We fished with Cal on Collins Lake Dec 8. He put us on 11 trout and 1 bass. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and very informative. If you are looking to catch fish–I highly recommend you book with FishHuntShoot.com’s Cal Kellogg!
Thanks for the great day Cal. We will see you again!

I have been privileged to have fished on many guided trips and my trip with Cal on November 25th was one of the very best. Not only did we boat some exceptional trout Cal was a joy to be with.
