The fishing is as always great, river was at about 7800 — the bs session after a day of fishing is always fun with the other customers and the guides.  Greg M.

Patient guides.

The hosts were excellent and enthusiastic.  Food great.  Lodge beautiful and rustic.  No TV thank goodness.  But the best thing was that there were lots of trout on the river and the guides were great!  Very patient with someone of my meager skills.  Lewis B.

Fishing was incredible!

The fishing was incredible.  I have never experienced such a successful fishing trip in both quantity of fish caught and the quality of the fight and the trout.  The secenery on the river was also incredible.  Outside of fishing I most enjoyed socializing with the other guests, John and Rebeca, and the people in my group.  It was nice to know that the fun did not end when we got off the river.  I looked forward to talking with my guide on the ride back, hanging out before dinner, and enjoying appetizers and a good meal with everyone at the lodge.  Lastly, myself and my group had a fun time shooting clay pigeons after a half day of fishing on our last day.  It was a nice change of pace and John helped us all with our shooting.  —-Coleman Peeke
