Code of Ethics
I should introduce and tell you a little something about myself. My name is Mark Cobb. I am the owner of Sky Lakes Wilderness Adventures and an Oregon Guide.
I started this business in 2018 because it is what I love to do, and I want other people to be able to enjoy it also.
I've been kayaking for over 25 years now. Living, working and playing around water have always been my calling. My parents owned a house on the water most of my life when I was growing up and when I was in my teens, my father owned a commercial fishing boat for a few years; I was his deckhand. After working with him, I got my commercial salmon troller and spent the next 11 years fishing the ocean. Then the tides turned on that industry, and we had to change direction.
I moved to the San Joaquin Delta in central California, where there are 1000 miles of waterways to fish and play. After commercial fishing, standing on the bank or just sitting in a boat with a pole seemed dull, so I bought a kayak to fish from, then another and another. (all three I still have and are in the pictures on this page) I got into what I called extreme kayak fishing in rough open waters fishing for big fish, sturgeon, salmon, striped bass, and shark (a baby sturgeon in the picture I threw back). Back then, nobody was doing kayak fishing except perhaps Native Americans. I rigged my kayak with a car battery to operate a fish finder, attached an anchor set up, had to drill holes for my fishing pole holders, and headed out.
And I learned my kayaking skills.
In 2000 I was looking at different scenic outdoor places I could visit that had good waters and fishing, and I came upon the Upper Klamath Basin here in Oregon. I have traveled all over the country, and nothing compared to the beauty I found here with many different rivers and lakes with nearly pristine clear waters and GIANT trout. I was hooked and moved right away. I have been kayaking and fishing the waters of the Upper Klamath Basin now for 18 years and am still finding new areas to enjoy. This place is fantastic, and the wildlife is incredible. See for yourself; I would love to guide you around.

P.S.
These two kayaks in the picture are the first ones I purchased over 30 years ago. I still have both, and the purple one is my favorite and what I still use today. Go Dagger!
