Washington Salmon Fishing Guide - Customer References

"I have fished with many guides and charters from Florida to Alaska over the years, and now fish exclusively with Eli Rico - owner of Hotshot Guide Services.

When fishing with some guides, you feel you are just a number and their only duty is to get you on and off the water and sometimes get fish - with Eli, you feel that he really enjoys seeing his customers catch fish and that at the end of the day - you are a friend, not just a listing in a database. 

We take our customer fishing with Eli frequently, I feel a day fishing Eli is a great way to build customer relationships that last for many years.

I also give Hotshot Guide Gift Certificates to family members for a gift they will remember for years...they look forward to the Gift Certificate at Christmas.

Eli is hardworking, polite, well mannered and has a great sense of humor, my customers without exception are very pleased with our days fishing with Eli.

Eli is extremely knowledgeable of local waters and very innovative in developing new methods to increase customer catch rates.  

Eli is also a great teacher and is not afraid to share his techniques and knowledge with you, I have learned a great deal from him and learn something new on each trip!"

Dan Hodge, President Bowers Power Systems

I recently had the pleasure of fishing with Hotshot Guide Service, particularly with Guide Eli Rico.
 
We fished the Yakima River for Springers and had a great day catch-wise and a great day with Eli and our other guests.
 
Eli is very knowledgeable and you can tell he really enjoys fishing. I highly recommend Eli, and Hotshot Guide Service for any type of Sport Fishing. I am looking forward to our Adventure with Eli.

Eli Rico of Hotshot Guide Service is FANTASTIC!!!!  I have had the pleasure of being on his boat twice and have gotten fish both times.  During both trips he was in contact with other guides fishing the same areas, but he always got better results.  I have never seen a guide work so hard to insure a successful fishing trip.  I can truly recommend Eli for Salmon fishing on the early and late runs.  I look forward to going fishing with Hot Shot Guide Service again this year and in the coming years.

Middle East, Central and South America, and many locations in North
America.

While there are many individuals and companies that guide
outdoor enthusiasts, some memories stick with you throughout the years. I can
highly recommend Eli Rico's Hotshot Guide Services to any fisherperson,
from beginner to expert. Eli has the personality, patience,  and
expertise that provides for a great  fishing trip, and makes it one to remember.
 

I have a photo in my office of two fishing buddies and me all holding my
King of King's. The fish was huge and the adventure a delight.
