Testimonials

  • I started fishing for steelhead in 1964 when I was in high school. Needless to say,I'm still chasing them some 50 years later. I've had the great fortune to have fished with some great guides through the years,but,none have been better than the guides[Bill Meyer and Ryan Celusta] with Angler's Guide Service and its owner Bob Kratzer.

  • For over 20 years I have been a client of Bob Kratzer and the fine people at Angler’s Guide Service. First and foremost, Bob Kratzer is a teacher and over the course of my time fishing with Bob I have developed into a good angler. Using the skills, tricks and techniques taught to me over the years I have become an accomplished angler in my private fisheries as well. Bob and Traci Kratzer have become good friends over the years and not only do they run a quality fishing experience, they are as good of people as you will find. Bob works harder than any guide I know to get you onto fish, his preparation for the day of fishing is second to none.
