Testimonials
Sir, I miss your Guiding here in California you are just absolutely the best, always got my quota with you. I will definitely come up to Fish with you again in Oregon, that Bull Trout in Billy Chinook was epic. Anthony C.
I had the pleasure of fishing with James. He was top-level and put me into an excellent day of Bull trout fishing. Magnificent fish on an Oregon gem of a lake. His stories of adventure and love of the outdoors added to the experience. I look forward to many trips in the Future.
James thanks for putting us on the fish at Paulina Lake and Billy Chinook Reservoir the Kokanee were tasty. and the Bull Trout WOW !! We will see you next year for sure
Wow !, where to start with Captain Hinton. Well, I’ve known James for many years as our kids grew up playing sports against each other as well as we both worked in the same industry. James has always been one of the most honest and friendly people I have ever known. He has always been an open book when it comes to talking fishing, My favorite subject. He is super easy to hang out on a boat with and when he says he is going to do something,( like catch fish ) He does it. I have been out fishing with James multiple times over the years as I have been an avid Trout and Bass fisherman my entire life. Some of my best trips have been smashing Kokanee with James at Bullards Bar Revisor. His knowledge of Lake and River fishing is amazing. His handmade lures and tricks for putting people on fish are truly unsurpassable. I highly recommend Captain James Hinton for guide service if you really want to catch Big Trout, Kokanee, Salmon, or Stripers. Cheers to Tight lines and limits forever.
Epic Trip, James!, Your knowledge and determination too stay with the Fish were seriously amazing, man. That was the trip of a lifetime for me, and it’s just the beginning. I am looking forward to booking many more trips and adventures.
I’ve been fishing with James for the last 15 years.We’ve fished in most of the local waters in Northern California including the delta. James is very knowledgeable of different types of game fish. He also makes the gear you’ll be using. He has guided me to wonderful days on the water. NO BAD Days. I’ve fished with a lot of people but James is at the top of my list
