"Joe - I think often about the great day you showed me on the Bitterroot; with lot's of good fish, a slam, trying really hard to catch a difficult fish, two fish with one cast, watching a fish take forever to slowly take the hopper, catching what may be the biggest fish I ever caught and a fish on the last cast of the day. All of this in a beautiful setting with good company and patient tutoring and encouragement. If I get the chance I'll be back. Cheers!" --Frank R. Australia
"Of all the places I've ever fished in my life, Missoula, Montana is at the top of the list. The dry fly fishing is exactly what you read about - spectacular!"

I only hire enthusiastic experienced guides for my staff. Patience is at a premium and their ability to fish all levels of anglers is paramount. They are my respected colleagues in the trout game. If you are unsatisfied with their work ethic, professionalism, or their attitude I will refund your money. No questions asked.
