    We have been with Nate Luther 3 times in the spring and once in the fall and his knowledge of the river is top shelf! We have always caught sturgeon two 8ft plus and bass and trout highly recommend these guys!

    We had Nate Luther as our guide and had such a great day! We caught some bass and landed 4 sturgeon with the last one being 8’6”. Highly recommend them!!

    Ryan, Jake, Nate, and Dawson are awesome guys. Did a two day fishing trip in Hells Canyon catching steelhead, sturgeon, bass, and even a walleye. We also got to see plenty of rams and bald eagles, beautiful country. Will most definitely be back for another trip with Hell Bound!

    Highly recommend! We have been on 4 trips the last 3 years. Nathan was our guide each time. Caught sturgeon every trip. Always a great time. Very knowledgeable and treats us like we've been friends forever. This company lives up to the expectations. They know the river and know how to catch fish. We will continue to book trips and recommend to everyone. Can't say enough!
