    We had a great time fishing for Walleye with Tri Guide Services. Chris Benson owner/captain is very knowledgeable fishing on the Columbia River. Out of the three days we fished, not once was there a disappointing day on the river. We’re already planning our trip back next year with Chris. Almo Pladson

    Hands down the best fishing guide i have ever used! We have been going with Chris every year for 10 years now and we have not once had an issue! His tackle is the best period and he is meticulous to make sure that a caught fish gets landed! My dad passed away this year and he caught his last fish with Chris and we did a special tribute on Chris boat this June which we'll never be forgotten! In my opinion 5 stars is truelly not high enough to rank him and we look forward to fishing the river with him again next year!!

    My second trip with Tri City Guide Service and can’t wait to book another trip. Chris is a great guide and a pleasure to spend the day with. I booked a combo Walleye/Sturgeon trip. The four of us caught a lot of Walleye and a 9’ Sturgeon (C/R). Chris provides great equipment, knows where to find the fish, and shows you how to catch them. I highly recommend him!

    Every Spring Break I go somewhere with my grandsons. Usually it is the beach but now that they are 14 and 17 and are avid fishermen we went Walleye fishing with Chris as our guide. Chris communicated well, was timely and helpful (I never touched a worm or a fish but caught many). The boys wanted to learn about catching Walleye and they got their fill with tackle options, pole options, location options, even cleaning, freezing and cooking Walleye options. I learned too. Thank you Chris.
