This guide KNOWS the rivers, the techniques, and the conditions to put you ON the fish! He is an exceptional teacher, if you'll listen to his advice, and really does care about the success of each individual in his boat. He does his best to make sure your trip will be a positive experience, to help you feel comfortable and confident, and to treat you right in every way so that you'll want to come back again and again. I can't say enough about his determination to catch fish, friendly personality, professional skills, and calm demeanor - if I won the lottery, I would make him my personal guide for the rest of my life!
