Anyone ever gone on a guided fishing trip with Eli Rico of hotshots charters?

I was looking for a guided steelhead trip and found his webpage. Just wondering if anyone here could tell me if he is a good guide to go with or if there is someone else I should look into.

 You won't find anyone better than Eli at catching fish in the rivers, though I heard he took an unplanned break from guiding recently, you may want to give a call to make sure.

I've used Mike O'Neil and been really happy.  Used him twice and landed about 5 each trip.  Here's his website:  http://www.wynoocheesteelhead.com/

 Rico is a world class guide and a walking wealth of information.  Booking a trip with him would be worth your money.

I personally know Eli and he is a great guide and person. You would be hard pressed to find a better guide. If he is not available, a good friend of his and mine may be, his name is Ryan Bigley and the name of his guide service is Soundbite guide service. His number is 206-778-9099. I spent 6 years guiding with Ryan in Sitka AK and down here as well, top notch i guarantee it.

Where do you want to fish and when?

Met Eli at the Wooldridge factory, was touring and talking boats with the owner (Glen) and he introduced me to Eli.  As stated above he is a wealth of knowledge, great personable guy, you won't find a better down to earth guy that know these waters very well....
