Great experience, Leon was very friendly and made the day fun. We caught a ton of fish and he was knowledgeable and helpful. Even without a fishing background you are going to catch fish and you are going to try to book another day of fishing as soon as possible.

This is a review for 2 nights with Captain Leon. Leon is very knowledgeable about the area we fished in. We were able to boat 20 walleye and lost a few others the first night including a 32" WHOPPER which we let go so she could go produce more eggs for the future. We constantly switched colors and stayed on the fish and had consistent success including a wild triple that had everyone doing circles on the boat. 2nd night is what made Leon stand out to me. Every other client he had canceled last minute leaving only me. Instead of canceling the trip he still took me out for a private charter. We had lots of fun and some laughs boating 15 walleye including yet another GIANT at 29.5" which we let go. I definitely will be booking with him again in the near future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable guide who will take the time to explain tips and tricks to help you be successful. P.S his deckhand JIGS is an awesome boat dog!

Leon was great; he knows that stretch of water for sure and we caught a pile of walleye, including a dirty 30. Will definitely hit him up again. The night trip is perfect on a hot summer day, just sayin.

Myself and colleagues booked a night trip with River Life Guide Service at the end of June. We weren’t on the water for 10 minutes and the fun was starting. Having never fished at night I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. I am glad we did the night trip. If you have ever been in a boat all day at 90 degrees you know what I am talking about. We caught 24 Walleye, 4 Shad and a couple of Pile Minnow. Leon was great and kept us on the fish. We even had several doubles. Will be back next summer. Thanks Captain Leon.

Leon is the absolute man. True professional. He went the extra mile by picking me up and keeping us out extra time to make sure we got on some fish. If you need a guide in the area, this is who you book with. Will be back out to fish with him again.

We had the opportunity to join Leon for an evening fishing for walleye last week. Fantastic night. Leon is a great captain, fun guy, knows the river cold and shares real insight and information to teach his guests. He put me on a personal best 9.5 pounder released back to the river. Night fishing was really special in a truly beautiful place. Overall an excellent experience. Many thanks Leon!

I have been communicating online with leon for a few months, all of our interactions online were pleasant and prompt. I finally pulled the trigger and booked a 4 hour evening trip with Leon. 7 to 11 pm. The whole experience was positive, Leon had a way of letting his passion for fishing allow 4 strangers to feel like we had fished together before. Overall, great experience very comfortable and best of all, we caught fish, lots of them! Thanks Leon !

Had never fished for walleye and Leon got us onto a boatload of them! Saw a big 28" one caught. Great guy and super knowledgeable! Will definitely book again! To add to the experience, he fillets the fish for you to take home clean and ready to go!
