I've fished with Joe Heinlen for many years now. The thing that sets Joe apart from other guides is his great attitude and love for fishing! Joe, not only fishes everyday so that he knows where the bodies of fish are, he also tries harder and is more efficient at finding the fish when they aren't easy to catch. Joe is an incredibly good trout fisherman and very knowledgeable. He also works those downriggers perfectly to give the lures the best shot at coming across the fish which are usually very deep in Lake Chelan! Whether you are a new or experienced fisherman, Joe is very impressive and helpful. Joe is everything a guide should be...knowledgeable, helpful, enthusiastic and works hard to give the client the best opportunity for the fish! He also has a very safe, comfortable and fast boat to get you on the grounds before anyone.

IF YA WANT TO CATCH FISH, Then you need to be on Joe's boat. My first trip out with Lake Chelan Adventures was early this year (2011) . It was cold with snow on the ground, and fish willing to bite. Up until this trip I had only caught a few small Macks over the years, but that all changed when I fished on Joe's boat here on Lake Chelan. We were out for fours hours or so one morning, and landed over 30 fish. I could not believe it. That was quite the introduction to Mack fishing here on Lake Chelan. I have been out on a couple more Mack trips since then with LCA, and have experienced better than average catch rates on each trip, with my Largest Mackinaw landed weighing in over 13 pounds. That's a lot of fish, let me tell you. The service is second to none, and you are guided by a professional individual who strives to make each trip an adventure that will be well remembered, and he definitely knows his stuff. In early spring of this year I also went out with LCA to a Lake in Northern Washington. Joe had mentioned he knew a place where the Kokanee averaged 17-19 inches. Let me tell you, the Kokanee I have been catching over the years have ran 9-13 inches, SO I said Joe Sign me up. Well, to make a long story shorter, I had a limit of Kokanee up to 21 inches that produced nice Thick extremely pink fillets that were absolutly delicious on the grill. WOW, I had just been introduced to "another" slice of Heaven. I personally expect to be making future fishing trips out with Lake Chelan Adventures, and would not hesitate to recommend This service to My friends and/or family. In addition to catching fish, It is like having your own private fishing tutor as Joe shares tips and techniques on these outings. Thanks Joe for all your shared information and some great times on the water. I look forward to more trips in the future.

Joe, Just wanted to get this letter off to ya. On January 18, 2011 my fishing partner, AL, and I ventured over to your area, Lake Chelan. We drove the four hour drive from Tacoma. Not sure what the weather would be like. We did have some snow here and there on the way over. Al and I did not book with you off the cuff. We had read many fish reports on WashingtonLakes.com and looked at websites before making our decision. In the end, you were selected. We had no idea what to expect on this fishing trip - were we in for a surprise. Not only did we meet a great guide, YOU, but the fishing was exceptional. Eight fish in the first hour alone!! The day ended with 20 nice machinaw to take home and smoke up !!!! During the day we kept getting bites, telling jokes, eating, missing bites, learning about the area and how to fish Lake Chelan. It was nothing less than a fantastic "Adventure" - true to the name of your guide service LAKE CHELAN ADVENTURES!! Joe, since our fishing "adventure" with you in January - AL and I have kept up with your fishing reports on WashingtonLakes.com. We also read the reports of that "other" guide service that posts there as well. It never fails, you always seem to come out on top with better fish catches....GOOD JOB! Anyone seeking a great fishing adventure on Lake Chelan, I would HIGHLY recommend JOE of LAKE CHELAN ADVENTURES. You will have one great day of fishing on the water. Greg Lee

After a small amount of research on lake chelan guides(just read the fishing reports to know who on the fish). I booked a trip for my 2 sons and myself. The date was set(May 1, 2011) for our first guided trip. Joe is very personable, funny and definitely knowledgeable about lake chelan. The bite was slow that morning, we boated 5 great fish. I did not know anyone would work as hard as Joe to get the fish to bite and create such awesome memories. I would recommend Lake Chelan Adventures to anyone who wants to catch fish. I am eagerly waiting to take my sons and friends on another adventure with Joe. If you have any desire to catch the big lake trout of lake chelan, then you had better book a trip with Joe. Thanks for the great memories Joe, see ya soon for another adventure.
