A Few Testimonials from Happy Fishermen!!

A Great Life Experience!

I can't believe it was only 3 days ago that we were in the middle of Lake Granby pulling 30 inch lake trout out of the lake! What a perfect day for mid-January. Certainly the highlight of our Colorado ski trip this time was Ice Fishing with you.

We all have days when we feel we've had more than our share of luck. Curtis and I had one of those days last Tuesday.... Not because we caught some great fish, but because we found the perfect fishing guide.

You made us feel comfortable and at home, focused on teaching us what we needed to know based on our abilities, and you were appropriately responsive to all our thoughts and requests.

Your guiding philosophy is right on target...In order of importance 1. Learn Something, 2. Have fun, 3. Catch fish.

Thanks again for giving my son and I a great life experience.

Best Regards,

Tom from Wilmette, IL

You Are the Man!!

I wanted to tell you thank you very much for the fish and the memories. I will be talking about them for the rest of my life. You are a great guide and I look forward to fishing with you again.

I have all ready put your name out to some of my friends ( all fly fishing guys) and told them that: YOU ARE THE MAN!

Thanks again!

A Great Time

Big fish or not, I had a great time hanging out with you and doing some fishing. You have mastered your craft without letting it get to your head which is rare.

Thanks again!
