I’ve been fishing with Kirk since high school. My dad used to take me, and now I take my family. A few weeks ago I took my sister-in-law, father-in-law, and 12 year old twin nephews. We all caught salmon and steelhead trout. The boys say it was the best day of their lives. ️I can’t wait to go back and continue this family tradition.

Been fishing with Kirk for years and it’s always amazing fishing with a great guy who knows all the great spots to go and when to go. Took my wife this time and she had a amazing time. Thanks Kirk for being good company too while we are out there trolling around.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kirk and jumping aboard his really awesome boat . It was truly an amazing experience getting to fish along side the best ! Kirk really knows the river well and can take you to the right spot at the right time . Not only did I enjoy fishing with him, but I learn so much about salmon fishing that I didn’t know before. If you ever get the chance to book a trip with him, I HIGHLY recommend it . I will definitely be fishing with him again soon . Thank you for the trip of a lifetime Kirk !

Kirk is the best. He makes you feel like you’re fishing with an ol’ buddy right away—and his professionalism, expertise and efficiency getting you in the water and pulling in a bunch of (big) fish made every moment priceless for me and my family (and especially my kids). We’ll be back.

I have had the pleasure of fishing with Kirk several times and never had a bad experience. Kirk knows the water and all the latest techniques that work. Safety is Kirks first concern followed by making sure everyone has a fun experience. The equipment he uses are all first class and ready to go. Great instructions and help with landing fish! Ill probably fish with Kirk many more times in the future. Thanks Capt. Kirk!!

Had a blast with Kirk! If I could give him 10 stars I would... Took my 11 year old boy out Bass Fishing, Kirk had a lot of patients with us ! (Being newer fishermen, hang-ups etc happens ) not only did We learn a lot, We caught about 30 Bass! My son loved it! Can’t wait for some trout fishing next. Thanks Kirk!!

I have used many guides over 30 years. Some bad and some good, but only one thats great. Kirk is the hardest working guy on the river with the knowledge and gear to boot. Ill keep going back forever.

Awesome day of fishing with Kurt and my dad! My dad and I had an amazing day out on whiskey town catching some beautiful kokanee salmon! Definitely will book again best guide I’ve been, he also great because he teaches you tips and tricks and doesn’t just sit there and let you fish! Also it was great because he holds a conversation and this was the most I’ve seen my dad talk to someone lol!

It’s no wonder Kirk has been in this business for 32+ years, the guy knows what he’s doing!My husband and i went fishing salmon for the first time & Kirk made the trip successful- caught a 26 pounder So much fun- we found our river guide, worth every penny!

This being my first time ever hunting turkey. The trip was beyond my expectations. It started with a warm welcome by Kirk. The lodging left nothing to want. The bed super comfortable, the room loaded with everything and more than I could ask for. The patio was a perfect place to have a beer with a buddy in anticipation of the morning hunt. I forgot to bring a couple odds and ends. Kirk fixed that no problem and hooked me up with what I forgot or didnt think to bring. Kirk answered all my questions, took the extra time to explain things. His guidance and professionalism made the trip a dream. If youve been thinking of booking a trip. Stop thinking and do it now. Your expectations will be blown away.

Took our family Bass Fishing at Shasta Lake today. It was amazing. Kirk is the best and is very knowledgeable about what he is doing. Although this was my kids and I’s first time out, my husband has been out with Kirk on several occasions. Would definitely recommend!!!

My dad and I had a great day fishing the Sacramento River with Kirk today. The boat and equipment were top quality. We had great conversation and fun with Kirk and the group. He is a very experienced guide and knows the river very well. There was no waiting around, we launched the boat right on time and worked the river hard. I caught my limit of steelhead and a 20lbs salmon. We highly recommend fishing with Kirk!

Recently was with Kirk on a goose hunt and had a blast. Let’s the birds work when they are committed and let’s you shoot, within reason, when they are not! The guy is full of good stories and I can guarantee some good laughs!

I would highly recommend Kirk as your next fishing guide. I have been fishing with Kirk since 2015 with the Chavez family i can assure you it is a blast. His knowledge and expertise is exceptional for the beginning to advanced fisherman.We drive 6 hours to fish with Kirk to catch some of the biggest Salmon the Sac river has to offer. I will continue to fish with Kirk in the future. I have attached some photos of our experience.Marcus Cabello

My daughter and I recently booked a pig hunt with Kirk and the experience was incredible. We hunted with a guide by the name of Derek and harvested 2 boar. Derek was very familiar with the ranch we hunted and extremely knowledgeable about the hogs behavior. Everything about the hunt was enjoyable. The four wheeler ride, spotting, stalking and the shot. Hunting with Derek was like hunting with old friends in Idaho.My daughter grew up hunting with me but its something we have not had the opportunity to do much of since she has gone off to school. The memories we made that day were priceless and I really appreciate Kirk and Derek making it such a special moment for us.

We had a wonderful time fishing for kokanee in Whiskeotown! Kirk is incredibly patient, personable, and a great guide. His boat was top of the line, his equipment was remarkable, and he took us exactly where the fish were. Even more, my brother has mobility issues, and Kirk was very patient and kind in working with my brother, and all of us. What a truly memorable experience! I highly recommend Kirks service.

My family had a great time with Kirk on Whiskeytown Lake. We caught a lot of good size Kokanee. It didn’t take long for Captain Kirk to teach us to fish, and he knew right where to take us. At one point we had 3 fish hooked up at the same time. His fishing equipment is all top quality, and the boat is great. We’ll be back.

Wonderful day on the Sac with my 11 yr old son. Kirk promised a fun trip, and it could not have been better. Dave treated us like family, and the rainbows were biting. We were counting, but I think we lost count around 25 fish. Highly recommended!

The folks at Sacriverguide took us out for a fly fishing drift trip on the Lower Sacramento. Their guide, Forest, was a super knowledgeable and friendly guide. He picked us up in a nice clean truck in the morning and was on time, actually a little early. It was nice to see that his boat was as nice and clean as his truck.Forest had us on fish from the very first casts. He definitely knows the river and what the trout are looking for. We caught 15/20 fish each. Most of the fish were 16-20 inches. We had one 25/8lb monster that got away after a long fight.....yeah, I know---the one that got away. Forest was extremely patient and did a great job of teaching my friend how to fly fish. Lunch was sandwiches, chips, cookies and sodas. Bring your own booze.I used to go through the a Fly Shop, but got sick of their high prices and dirty boats,etc. I wont go back to the Fly Shop now that I found Sac River Guides.

I am convinced that Justin will get you catching A LOT of fish on a fly no matter what. Enough to where you will just stop counting. Didn’t catch much the first hour and a half or so but after that it was NONSTOP. Their website says “20-40 fish a day” and I believe them as I was fishing by myself and was probably around 20 (stopped counting) not including the ones I lost! They give great instruction as well and I left as a more skilled fisherman at the end of the day. This is money well spent. Justin was fun, nice, professionalI, and an expert fly fisherman. I will be coming back. Fished 7-21-2018

My husband and I had the best fishing trip with Sac River Guide (thanks Justin)! We will be booking with these guys from now on! Spent the day catching beautiful and big rainbow trout all day long. Justin our guide was very pleasant and great to be around. Lisa and Kirk took great care of us from booking the trip, trip instructions, and directions . Highly recommend this outfitter!!!!!!

Went out on Shasta Lake with this guide service, Justin in particular, and it was more than what I anticipated! Super easy to coordinate and the fishing was way above par! Put 8 fish in the box and released many others. Whether you’re from the state or from across the country, as we are (North Carolina), this should be your guide service. Justin really made us feel welcomed to the lake and the state and was exactly what I would expect from a top notch guide service.... I will be back!

My Friend Joe and I fished with Sacriverguide Pro Kirk Portorcarreo Yesterday June 5th 2019. Kirk gave us the option to fish for trophy Browns at Lake Shasta, Wild Rainbow trout in the Sac River or Kokanee Salmon at Whiskeytown Lake. We chose Kokanee, and what an experience it was! Within minutes we landed our first Salmon, after that it took only 3 hours to catch our limits. Most of the Kokanee where 2 pounds! Kirks boat was top of the line and loaded with quality equipment and tackle. Kirk is the ultimate Pro and we will keep coming back!

Our family has been fishing with Kirk for over 30 years. We come back every year for the fantastic fishing, and great memories we make with Kirk. Our family has 3 generations of experiences with him as our fishing guide, and we look forward to every September fishing salmon on the Sac River. If the fishing is a bit slow on the river, he is the guide you want to be with. You will be landing fish when other boats are sitting stagnant. All around he is a great person, and hands down the best guide on the Sac River. His high recommendation is based decades worth of great memories.

My dad and I have fished multiple rivers, multiple times, over the past 15 years with Kirk and his awesome crew. Every time we go out, Kirk gets us into some trophy fish and many of them! He has a fleet of the best boats and best equipment on the river. If your new to fishing or have lots of experience, Kirk offers some of the best instruction. I would highly recommend his outstanding service and fishing adventures.

Went out 10/22 with Kirk and caught a 30lb King right out of the gate then a 25lb a few minutes later. This guy has been fishing this river for 30 years or so and he knows all the secrets. Were already planning our next trip with him.
