    We had a great trip with Jordan. He was patient with beginning fly fishermen and told good stories. We caught several small trout on our trip.

    Trip: Yellowstone River Float Trips

  • ★★★★★
    Nate - Thank you for putting together another awesome trip, this time down the Missouri River. Drew and Will were great guides and they worked their butts off to keep us in big fish all day. Given the high temps were in the upper 50’s and were constantly 18 - 22 mph; this did not slow these two guides down at all! They continually were changing patterns and depths. They continually rowed us across and back up stream to keep os on fish all day long. Thank you, Jim, Deborah, Tina and Terry

    Nate - We had a fabulous trip down the Madison River on Thursday. Ryan and Matt were phenomenal guides! Both worked extremely hard to put us on fish; changing patterns as needed and crossing the River to keep us in the seams. Thank you, Jim Deborah, Tina and Terry

    Trip: Madison River Float

  • ★★★★★
    Our day with Nate’s guide Patrick was an awesome experience. Patrick is a true professional, keeps things simple for beginners and was a pleasure to get to know. The experience would have been great even without catching anything but his knowledge of the Madison resulted in several catches including brown and rainbow trout and several whitefish. Great experience!
