Hey Guys,

My name is Joe Princen, I am also known as "JP" with JP's Guide Service. I am one of the "new" and young guides in this state. Just figured it was time to make a move and join a forum, my presents here is not looking to book trips, but a way for any of you to publicly be able to get ahold of me with my information listed, or using this forum's tool's. If you see something, that you must make a comment about, Good or bad - I'd rather hear it from you directly - than see it posted somewhere on the internet, respectfully, thank you. I hope that myself and my clients leave little impact and no trace behind on any of our wonderful and healthy river systems on Washington's Coast.


A little about myself

I was 3 months old on my dad's commercial vessels all over Alaska, I was raised an only child on the water, literally all over Alaska... with a sport rod in my hand since I was a 2 years old, My dad carried his passion for sportfishing beyond the typical salty commercial fisherman lifestyle, on our days off we used our commercial boats to sportfish big salt kings, access rare backcountry Island steelhead in numerous unknown systems.. and landlocked lakes full of trout of all kinds. Our home port is Petersburg Alaska. My passion for fishing goes beyond just a day on the water, Born and Raised on the water, for the water, I live to fish and fish to live, its in my blood, literally. My business is clean, I'm fully insured (thanks canyon man), first aid - CPR, boaters card, Business licenses and soon Swift Water Rescue 1 & 2. With the sponsor colors I fly on my boat, specially the theoutdoorline.com, im not out on any body of water to make enemy's, I'm there take a deep breath of clean Olympic Peninsula air, un-plug my mind/soul from society and to make sure my clients enjoy their day on our rivers as much as i do, everyday. Any aggression, is not ment for the rivers, I make sure I leave it on the Johnsonhill Line in Naknek Alaska every year during the red season when i operate my boat and business in the worlds most insane fishery. Im always looking forward to my days off when i get to fish with my friends and family out of the driftboat and soon sled that we are looking to build.

thanks and hello!
JP
