    We had an awesome time with Jason on our full day float on the Snake. Caught so many cutthroat trout we lost count and were too busy catching to take many pictures. Caught em on dry flies, nymphs, and streamers. Jason was fantastic switching flies to get the bites and was super patient when we snagged on the bank…Jason also makes an awesome lunch on the water. Great guy and look forward to running it back! - Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    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.

    Jordan is an absolute Master of his craft. His understanding of fish is unparralled. Honestly its like he is one. The yellowstone was blown out due to heavy rains so we audibled to a 17 mile float on the Lower Madison. We fished a new and totally unique set of techniques fishing indicators with crayfish pattern followed by a nymph. He told me exactly when to mend, when to let the flies drag a hair, and when to re adjust with a new cast to get the perfect action on the flies. I missed a lot of big eats and landed some beautiful (and fat) rainbows and browns! Back at the ramp no one had the succes we did. I learn so much from Jordan everytime im out there. Can’t reccomend booking a trip with him enough.

    The trip was great, from beginning to end. Ian was very helpful on the phone booking the trip, especially since we only booked it the night before. Nate and his team were helpful, and Matt was particularly generous with his time. His enthusiasm for his job and for our trip were contagious. We had a beautiful day on the water and had some success with the fishing, but the trip would have been great even if they weren’t biting that day.
