Hi All! 

I had a great day fishing with Dave on the hoh river in feb. He worked hard at putting me into some fish and was an easy person to spend the day fishing with.

His approach to the day took us away from the flotilla of boats and we had the river to ourselves for the day. We hooked five steelhead and whent five for five with an 18lb. native being the biggest fish of the day.

Dave took great care in taking into account that all fish we caught would survive their upriver journey as we practiced catch and release all day thanks Dave best trip ever!

Dave,

Thanks for the good times.Your experience made it easy to think there was a fish on every cast. Fish on! Having the fishing being slower for most and having at least 6 takedowns and landing 4 puts you at the top of my go to guy for the olympic peninsula. You earned every penny of your fee. I will be back. Thanks again.

Dave is one of those people who has devoted himself to the fish.

A living breathing fish catching machine.

This guy eats, breathes, and sleeps for getting after salmon and steelhead.

He's a great friend and a fantastic guide.   This yarnballs for you bud!!

A Letter of Thanks-

I am posting this as a thank you to one of the hardest working guides that I have ever had the pleasure of fishing with.  You will not find a guide that will work harder to put you into fish than Dave does. 

In an era where a lot of guides seem to work bankers hours, launching late and taking out early, Dave continually on all my trips with him puts in more hours on the river than most. 

Having seen the excitement on Daves face when others hook fish, I can see that the excitement is still there even after all the years and thousands of steelhead that he has seen.  Having fished with him numerous times both on guided trips and just for fun I know this too be true.

Thanks Dave for all the good times that we have had and hopefully all the many more that we will have.

Dear Dave,

Thank you for all your hardwork during our guided fishing trip on the Sol Duc.   I've never had a guide work harder.

You always had a baited up rod immediately ready incase we lost a bait or hook. This meant that we had more fishing time in the slot.   You also coached my partner and me to cast together to the right spot to cover the holes properly. 

Thanks again

What about Dave Mallahan? 

So I finally got the chance to fish with the infamous Dave Mallahan.   He showed me techniques that I never knew.   I have been fishing seriously for 12 years now and for me to learn a new trick is few and far between.

We fished the bogie on december 2nd and 3rd for winter steelhead. The going was tough for almost everyone on the river both days. But when you hire one of if not the best fishing guide on the o.p. you can expect good things to happen. To make a quick recap of it, I hooked 5 fish and landed my limit of 3 fish our first day.

I hooked four fish and,through my own mistakes, I landed only one fish my second day. Now that makes me a very happy man when I know,through talking to other fisherman,that Dave had put me in the key places,with the right techniques,and perfect instruction to get me into the most fish.

I have to say that I will definitely be back soon to fish with Dave. I say bravo to Dave for being on his game in hard conditions. I can't wait to see what happens when there's alot of fish in the system,and I am fishing with Dave again !!
