Had a great day with Chris. Ended up with 5 rainbows, all between 12" and 18" which is a good day wherever you are. When you have that on beautiful day in the stunning Texas Hill country is it hard to beat as a fishing experience. ...Read More

We had a great time floating the Guad last wk. Chris did an excellent job with fly selection and put us on a lot of good fish. The lunch was top-notch too, which was unexpected and better than most guides provide.
