What Our Guests Say
"We had the time of our lives! Homer and Carl gave us an incredible adventure filled with thrills, history of the area, and personalized attention at every turn. Huge bighorn sheep, eagles, smallmouth bass, and a 6+ foot sturgeon are just some of the things to be observed. The BBQ'd baby back rib lunch at the dam was top notch."
"Outstanding experience, great humans at HQ, and the boat captain Homer was absolutely a pleasure! Our kids, 13, 14 and 11 had an amazing experience. We caught a zillion fish, lost count. Kid friendly, first class jet boat experience."
"Just back from an incredible weekend of fishing with Hammer Down River Excursions. Every detail of our visit exceeded expectations. Bass, rainbow and carp in addition to three sturgeon, one of which was 8' 9". Thanks Homer and team! We can't wait to return."
