Went out with Joe today on Lake Chelan. It was AMAZING the way Joe takes the time to keep you right on top of the fish and in the action, as well as insuring lively conversation and helpfull advice. I've been on many charters and I dont mind saying that Joe is by far the best of the best. If your looking for a GREAT day on the lake go with Lake Chelan Adventures! I will be back soon.

Enjoyed a great day of fishing with Joe on Lake Chelan last weekend. It was no accident that we caught 21 Lake Trout, Joe know's his stuff and is a very effective fisherman! I also appreciated Joe's knowledge of fishery issues with the lake and other places in North Central WA. My good friend Ken and I really enjoyed our outing with Joe and I would recommend this trip to anyone!
Thanks Joe
Jerry Pinard – January 2, 2012
I received a fishing trip for me and a friend with Joe on Lake Chelan for Christmas. I immediately called to plan my trip for the New Year weekend and Joe didn't hesitate to book us even over the holiday. We were told to bring warm clothes and some snacks....he would take care of the rest and he completely delivered.
We went out for a four hour trip the first day and caught 20 trout! Joe went over and beyond any other guide I had ever used or even been around. He kept our lines baited, fish hooked, lines tight and kept us entertained the whole time. The second day was even better!! In fact so much so that we ended up (luckily there were no other charters booked for that afternoon) staying on the lake for the rest of the day!! I even caught a beautiful rainbow to round out a fabulous fishing weekend.
Not only would I go again I plan to ASAP! The convenience of having the right equipment, right bait and right knowledge (from a damn nice guy) in the boat from the second I stepped on made the most of my time in Lake Chelan. I would say for me definitely and probably for anyone who loves to fish, works hard for their money and has limited time off THIS is the best value around!
Ray Simonson – January 2, 2012
Jerry and I fished with Joe for two days. It was great. I have never seen anybody work for his client(s) like Joe did. We came home with 65# of fillets.
Joe is a topnotch guide,and a great guy to be around as well.
We are making plans to go back soon.Ray
Will,Anne, Andy Aslin – December 30, 2011
Joe is our guide of choice; especially after three great trips in the last two years. This December, we introduced our son, Andy, to a fishing holiday with Joe. Boy, was he impressed! We landed 21 fish in a four hour period; two of them nice Rainbows.
We'll be back for the knowledge Joe possesses, and a sense of humor that keeps everything light and fun. And of course, haul a boatload of fillets home!
Mark Petersen – December 30, 2011
We had a super day of fishing with Joe. A total of 18 fish were landed, but the really huge one got away. "Well maybe next time!"
Joe works hard and seems to know what the fiash are thinking and better yet what they are eating. If you want to catch fish; go with Joe.
Thanks for a great day.
Molly Trepanier – December 16, 2011
Joe is amazing!!! We just got home from a trip with him today. We ended up with 21 fish and almost 40 pounds of fillets!!! I can't wait to head back out!!
Dave Latimer – December 9, 2011
I would highly recommend fishing with Joe Heinlein at Lake Chelan Adventures! I've fished with Joe twice now and can't say enough good things about the experience! Joe loves his work and it shows! Joe is very knowledgeable, helpful, and fun to fish with!! Joe works his butt off to get you into the fish, while having a fun attitude. Great fishing equipment, a nice boat, a heater!!, make a very complete package!
Go fish with Joe!!!
Andy Tuchscherer – November 11, 2011
We went on a charter with Joe on Lake Chelan where we fished for Lake Trout. Me and my son Ethan had a great time with Joe. This is the second time we booked his services. The first time we caught 19 fish. This time we caught 10 in 4 hours. The biggest two were about 8 pounds each. I am looking forward to booking this charter in the future. Next time I will try Rufus Woods.
Graham Thomson – October 21, 2011
For a first time fishing adventure Joe was amazing. He took time to teach me how to fish and I took home 13 lake trout. Joe is very professional, but is also approachable and friendly. His knowledge of the lake and area made the experience enjoyable. Joe came recommended from some locals here and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for great and fun fishing on Lake Chelan.
Bailey Fickett – October 17, 2011
If you are looking to catch fish, catch some laughs and catch a good time...Lake Chelan Adventures is the way to go! Joe keeps you entertained the entire time and always knows how to find the fish. I took my boyfriend on a guided fishing trip for his birthday and he said it was the best birthday present he has been given. Joe has top of the line equipment and keeps you informed about what is going on the whole time...not to mention heaters and misters for those that don't want to get too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer. I strongly reccommend his service to anyone who is looking for an excellent fishing experience!
Inna Tkachenko – October 14, 2011
Joe is awesome. The best guide you could possibly ask for. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable at was he does. My husband and I had a great time fishing with Joe on a beautiful October morning. In four hours we caught nine Lake Trout. It was an amasing trip. Joe is very thoughtful person, he had his heater running on a boat so that we dont get cold. It was an excellent trip. Thank you Joe.

Sharona Rice – September 19, 2011
Had a blast with Joe. On a "slow" day, we caught 11 lake trout and laughed for four hours on a calm, warm, gorgeous September morning. He taught us how to fish for Chinook and burbot, as well as a history of the lake and the local fishing trade. His knowledge and skill as a professional guide is like a private academy. This man loves his work! You can learn a lot from him about this fishery and other local grounds and fish on your own, but it probably costs less and is undoubtedly more fun and productive just to fish with Joe! Pirate jokes ahoy, matey! We are going home with 25 pounds of trout filets headed for the smoker. We will be back for more.
Steve Wicklund – September 14, 2011
Joe Heinlen, Fishing Guide for "Lake Chelan Adventures" is the BEST !!! Five of us went out to fish Lake Chelan in his boat Monday Sept. 12, 2011 and had a BLAST !!! We caught ten fish in four hours and we were extremely pleased and impressed at Joe's expertise with the boat and all the gear. Believe me...This guy knows how to FISH with years of guide experience under his belt. I cooked some of the Mackinaw Trout last nite using Joe's favorite receipe and it was FANTASTIC!!! Can't wait to book my next trip with "Lake Chelan Adventures" next year....
Steve Diehl – August 19, 2011
August 8, 2011
Great 4 hour trip on a beautiful day! Despite a slow bite at times Joe kept ups laughing with his witty jokes. We ended up with nine fish, one 11 pounder and one 8 pounder. Overall we ended up with 26 pounds of fillets. Joe was very a knowledgeable guide. I would recommend Joe to anyone looking for a great Lake Trout trip!!
Katrice Taylor– August 18, 2011
My husband and I had a wonderful outing on August 14th. I was amazed on how skillful Joe was and I learned that fishing and the use of technology is truly an art. Joe was also great about sharing information about fish and their habitat. I left the boat knowing more information than I started with. It was also my first time fishing so being able to catch 15 fish was truly amazing.
Mike Carey – August 18, 2011
Great 4 hour trip on a beautiful day! Despite a slow bite at times Joe put us on some fish and ended with very nice fillets. Very professional and knowledgeable guide. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great Lake Trout trip!!
Robert L.
My 10 year old grandson and I went on a 4 hour fishing trip with Joe, August 12, 2011. This was my grandson's first fishing charter experience and he caught 12 of our 17 fish. We could not have had a better time and are looking forward to going again.
Hi Joe, I would like to thank you again for the tremendous time me and Haley had fishing with you last Thursday morning. You were also spot on with the Alaskan baked potato recipe being a huge hit. I will be in contact with you in the next few weeks to figure out a date that's open for you around the end of August. Thanks again!

Glen Trinka – August 2011
My son Jordan and I had an amazing 4 hours of fishing yesterday with Joe of Lake Chelan Adventures. Knowledgeable, personable, friendly and fun.....what more could you ask for. Thank you Joe!
Larry Tice – July 2011
I researched all of the fishing guides for the Lake Chelan area and Joe Heinlen at Lake Chelan Adventures was my first choice. I was very lucky he was available at the last minute.
Joe is a terrific fishing guide with decades of personal fishing experience combined with nearly 20 years of experience working for WA at fisheries all over the state. I had 4 children with me and 3 of them were under the age of 10. Joe not only gave all of the kids their best fishing experience ever, but he kept them entertained with stories of Lake Chelan, facts about fishing as well as a good measure of riddles and jokes to keep everyone in a good mood. Of course it helped that we hooked 18 lake trout in 4 hours. An outstanding experience that our family will always remember. I can't wait to go again. This time I'll make a reservation early!
Joe McCrary -July 14th, 2011
Hey Joe, We made your Alaskan Baked last night..... WOW it was great, we made too much so we shared with our unknown neighbors, They loved it too. Thanks for the tip and more importantly thanks for making such a great memory for my boy. We will be back.

First time fishing with Joe and he really did an outstanding job and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to have a really fun fishing/boating experience. Thanks Joe for the memorable trip for my grandson and I.
Justin & Jen Dixon – July 11, 2011
We were lucky enough to reserve an early morning fishing trip with Joe and his Custom Weld boat. Our 4 hours with Joe were filled with amazing fishing, great stories, learning about the area and its highlights, and fantastic laughs! Joe has the knowledge, passion, and determination to ensure a successful fishing trip.
We landed 15 Lake trout in 4 hours! To conclude our day, Joe demonstrated his master knife skills to send us home with expertly prepared fish filets! :)
We will never forget this trip and would highly recommend Joe and Lake Chelan Adventures to anyone! Thank you again for a wonderful trip!

Dane Goulet – July 4, 2011
Just got back from a great Lake Chelan trip with Joe. Went out for the early morning bite with my dad and my uncle, and even those stubborn old guys agreed that Joe really knew what he was doing out there. We caught a dozen fish in our four hour trip, and brought home enough fillets to smoke and BBQ for the rest of the summer. Next time we're hoping to take a boat onto Rufus Woods with him, because we got some giant fish out of there too. All three of us agreed that this was the best day of fishing we'd ever had. Joe was hilarious, his boat was really comfortable and well equipped, and his knowledge of fishing at large and this lake can't be beaten. We drove by the other tour boats all morning, and didn't see them bring in a single fish. Couldn't recommend him any more highly.
Joe,
I just wanted to say thank you for a great fishing trip. We all (grandpa, dad & son) had a great trip and of course the big one did get away but he will be there when we try again. You are very knowledgeable about your business (fishing) and look forward to the next time.
Thanks again

My family and I just got back from a morning outing with Joe of Lake Chelan Adventures. We had a great time and were not disappointed, catching 13 lake trout in a short span. Joe really knows his stuff! We had never been to Lake Chelan before so we didn't know anything about the fish there or how to catch them. A friend of ours had fished with Joe before and recommended him to us, so we were fortunate to be able to book a trip with him when we arrived in Manson for the week. We did a morning trip. The boat was comfortable and roomy for the four of us, plus Joe. We had hoped to get some pointers in case we were ever to bring our own boat to Chelan. He was more than generous in sharing tips on fish and equipment. But after watching Joe work to help us catch our fish, I think it might be a craft best suited for a professional like him! He does a great job of making sure the fish bite. We didn't see a lot of fish being caught by the other boats. Joe also cleaned our fish for us afterwards very quickly. He's a humorous and personable guy; we enjoyed spending our morning with him. We would recommend Lake Chelan Adventures to others and would definitely fish with Joe again. Thanks! :)
Don Varney
We booked a half day trip with Joe on Lake Chelan and had a great time. Joe is a real pro, knows the lake and how to fish it. He works very hard to be sure that you get fish in the boat. In 4 hours we had 10 beautiful lake trout and had a lot of fun. When my grandson saw the pictures of the trip. He said I gotta do that. He and his Dad booked a trip a couple months later with similar results.
Looking forward to several more great trips with Joe.
The Beavers
We have fished with Joe for 4 years now. Always have caught fish and had a great time doing so. Joe works very hard to make that happen every time. I would refer him to first time fisherman and any avid fisherman.I have fished for many years and have not found anyone more capable of making the fishing expereince more rewarding. P.S. Brian caught a 17LB Laker it was awesome and he lost one even bigger and lost Joes favorite lure. The Beavers Brian and Debbie.
Mark Richards
Enjoyed a four hour fishing trip with Joe, Brother-in law Mike and nephew Casey and it was non-stop action. Joe sure knows his stuff.
The lake trout were five to sixteen pounds. Wish I could attach a picture!
Ken Heath
Joe Heinlen is an amazing guide and beyond catching fish, he'll keep you laughing the whole time. There isn't anyone better in the Lake Chelan area.
Audra Wolfe
My family and I have been out with Joe several times. He is by far the best guide we have ever booked with, and we have been all over the Pacific Northwest with many different guides. He is great with our kids, super friendly, and works harder to catch fish than any guide we've ever been out with. His boat is wonderful; clean, roomy, comfortable, warm (he has a heater if the weather is cold) and easy to move around in. He does an excellent job with our twin 5-year-old boys, they always have a hard time waiting until we book our next trip! Joe is an encyclopedia of knowledge on Lake Chelan and it's surroundings, the different fish that live in it, their habits, and how to catch them even when conditions make it extremely difficult. People, he will even clean the fish for you! If you have been looking to book a fishing trip with a guide, don't hesitate to take a chance on Joe! He is hands down the best guide we have ever been fishing with! You will have a great time, have a cooler full of fish fillets and your experience will leave you excited for the next time you can escape to go again.
Glen James
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.
Greg Lee
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.
Loui Leonard
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.
Kirk Peters
Joe, wanted to again thank you for a great trip June 20th... your professionalism, sharing of your stories, the fishing technique tips, and great fishing too... and overall just a great day on the lake! Thanks again Joe, we look forward to seeing you in the future! Tight lines.... Kirk & Sue Peters
Scott Scheffler
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.
Les Jacober
I have fished with Joe twice so far this year and both times i have been amazed at how hard he worked to get us into Lakers. I fish with 8 to 12 guides every year all over the Northwest plus have 15 to 20 guides work for us in Alaska every summer and I wish they worked as hard as he does. My friend John M. my son my dad and I would rate our experience an 8.5 out of a possible 10. Just excellent
Ashley Shupe
I most strongly recommend you book your fishing trip with Joe Heinlen at Lake Chelan Adventures. Joe is a very gracious skilled guide whom without question, I recommend to anyone wishing a great day on the water and very high odds of catching fish. I can not wait to take may friends and family out with Joe again.
Ron Cryderman
Joe Heinlen knows fish. Not ever having actually seen his home in the hills of Chelan, I would bet he is actually part fish and lives among them. Seriously, I've known Joe for 30+ years and can attest to his skills and knowledge. Extremely entertaining and accommodating to his customers. Been out twice with him and always came come with a cooler with fish. I highly recommend his service to young and old.
Joe,
I quick note and a big Thank you for another great fishing trip .
I would recommend you to anyone who wants to fish Lake Chelan.
Its nice to go with a pro and learn about this unique fishery. You know how to make it fun and still catch lots of fish. I highly recommend that anyone from seasoned fisherman to families looking for a fun day on the lake sign up and go with Joe.
Please feel free to post this on your testimonials.
P.S I have gone with Joe three times ... its a blast.
Say Hi to Johnny for me....Todd Lenning

I will say this about this trip. I've never seen anyone work as hard as Joe did to make sure we had a great time and that we went home with a cooler full of fish. I would highly recommend his service to anyone who's looking to have a great day of fishing on Lake Chelan. Armando Cortez

Just wanted to drop you a line letting you know how much fun we had out on the boat with you last Saturday. My buddy I really appreciated you working so hard to get those fish that did commit into the boat, even though they were biting so light. 11 fish for a half day trip is far from “feathers” from my point of view!
I’ll be able to employ a lot of the knowledge you shared with us on my very next trip out, and hopefully increase my catch rate. Feel free to use me as a reference without hesitation – I have nothing but great things to say about you and your service.
Hi Joe, I always appreciate your posts. We are in Germany for the next 3 years and plan on taking another trip with you whne we are able to get back to central WA. Great memories. Hope you and your family had a merry Christmas and have a happy New Year...Ashley Shupe
Thanks so much, Mr. Joe Heinlen. Your pictures and reports were key in my two-day experience on this beauty of a lake, and I want to tell you now that I thoroughly respect your willingness to share your knowledge with people you have not met. I'm currently trying to adapt to this culture after growing up in a land where most just don't talk about their success for fear of being crowded out of their productive spots. While I actually had your contact information with me at the time of the trip, I just couldn't ring you out of respect for your privacy. I'll contact you someday, and in the meantime, I'll share your name with anyone I meet who may be interested in fishing your neck of the woods. While I haven't spoken with the other gentleman who has posted wonderful reports, by the name of Mr. Anton Jones I believe, he too inspired this trip and will receive my sincere thanks for helping an unknown to enjoy nature to the Nth degree. Please be well and enjoy all that you do. Mark

Mel Loucks
Thank you so much for the fishing trip on July 12th. I can honestly say I have never seen anyone in any occupation work harder than you worked on that trip. Larry and I both had a great time and will definitely be back. I will also bring my two boys and tell everyone I know to get there butts over to Chelan to have the best fishing trip of their lives with Joe at Lake Chelan Adventures.
Joe,
Thank you for the fishing trip this morning. You are a very open and personable person, and you made my boys and me feel very comfortable and welcome. We had a wonderful time and really learned a lot.
After being on the lake for 10 years, this is the first "big" fishing trip we have done. We should have done this long ago. Next time, we are out for the full day!
And the pictures on your web site are great.
Thank you again and please feel free to use me as a reference.
Best Regards,
Doug Christiansen

Thank you for the great morning of fishing! Beautiful weather, calm water, family and fishing...What could be better? I attached some pictures of the girls holding their fish and of Madison helping you drive the boat. I thought they were pretty cute. We are hoping to visit Chelan next spring/summer and would love to join you on another fishing adventure. Take care of yourself, your wife, and those girls of yours!
Until next time,
Shannon, Madison, Emily and Ty Mauck

Anne and I were more than pleased with our fishing experience with Joe. The jokes AND the fish came fast and furious, and the hard work involved(mostly Joe) were a treat for us. It was a day to remember and we went home with lots of fillets and an appreciation of the man's passion for catching fish. We'd be up for another trip anytime. Thanks, Joe!
