I want to thank you, Scott, and your staff for an absolutely amazing experience. I can honestly say that in all of my travels I have never been more impressed. It was like staying at the Scottsdale JW Marriott in the middle of God’s country. Thanks again and I’ll see you in August!

The entire team did a first class job! Your guides should be featured in a magazine. Those guys really work. Terrific food and the personalized service, wow! You've redefined a lost art. Thank you for a great adventure. The filets arrived in perfect shape - the final touch.

Wow! What an experience El Capitan Lodge was! I don't know where to start - everything being so fantastic! The cabins, the boats, the delicious meals, the hors d’oeuvres, the gear, and every single staff member, were without fault.

Furthermore, we enjoyed great weather and fantastic fishing as well as scenery and wildlife. If I tried to find a fault in our trip, I could never do so.

Thank you for such a great time there! It was a trip we'll never forget, especially Russell's 228# Hali! You obviously have a tremendous gift for hospitality - what a pleasure to enjoy it. Thanks for everything.

On behalf of my dad, Tom, and myself, Jack, I want to say "thanks" for an amazing trip. We both had an unbelievable trip to Alaska and you all made that possible from the moment we arrived at the dock to the moment we flew out.

You both know how to entertain while making everything appear effortless. The caliber of the staff and the quality of the service is above our expectations. I tell everyone that will listen about our trip to El Cap Lodge. You both should be very proud of what you have made the place. You're making it better all the time.

We look forward to seeing you all in the future.

It is 5:00 Monday evening, I am home and have all of my fish unpacked. It is always good to be home even after an incredible experience like I just enjoyed over the last few days. I want to thank you both, your family and your wonderful staff for a wonderful, first class experience of fishing and vacationing. I feel like I have added some new members to my immediate family, but ones that I want to go and visit again and again. :)

I know that you two, with the experience inherited from your own families spearhead the operation, but I also know that you realize that none of it could be possible without the professionalism, personality and warmth of your team members. I refer, of course, to your very capable boat captains, the devoted folks who clean and pack the fish, the good people who clean up after us and keep us well fed with incredible FIVE STAR food, service and libations. This entire support team has been nurtured and created by example and it shows all the way across the board.

If there is anything I can ever do for you please never hesitate to ask. Thanks again for everything. My best to you and your parents as well as your entire team.

My sincerest best wishes and hugs.
