positive review  To all you dads taking your kids up to Canada to go fishing this is a MUST. I just took my kids and we had one of the best fishing experiences you could ever encounter. Donavan is a fantastic guide and he does an amazing job. -- We fished for just over 3 hours and boated 60 Channel Cats that all but one was over 30" long. The action was fast and we had so much fun!. -- GIVE IT A TRY AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED! --- Five Stars - all the way!!
