Dan is a superb fly fishing guide. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful with advice. He is fun to be around. He loves to see his clients catch big fish. I strongly recommend him and I look forward to fishing with him again.

I spent 17 years as a professional guide and I have continued to hire guides whenever I visit a new fishery. This week I had the absolute pleasure of fishing with Dan. I would rank Dan as the best fishing guide I have ever been with. Dan has a wonderful personality, we held great conversations throughout the day. Dan's boat, car and equipment were in impeccable condition. Dan's knowledge of the river was outstanding and he worked the oars hard all day to make sure I got the best shots. The fishing was simply amazing the day I went. I had to stop fishing early I was so tired. If you have the opportunity to fish with Dan, you should absolutely do so. I can ensure that you will have just as wonderful of an experience as I did. Steve L

Had a blast with Dan on a full day fly fishing on the Bow River. My brother and I had zero experience fly fishing, and Dan took the time in the beginning going through the basics with us, and continue to give us tips while on the river. It was a very hot day and Dan was very patient with us, giving us insights on finding fish, helping changing rigs, paddle against the current to redo a run, making sure we get the most out of our trip. Thanks to Dan's efforts we had good fights with some white fish and rainbow. We had an awesome experience, thanks Dan, and see you next time!

I had a great day out on the Bow with Dan as our guide. Despite it being a slower day for fish, Dan knew where to find them! We got some nice browns and rainbows to the boat. Very knowledgeable guide and very friendly for beginners to experts!

HOOKED!!! First time EVER fly fishing. All we expected was to learn some basics of fly fishing and wet a line. The trip turned into a great day of fishing with Dan Coledi. Dan picked my wife and I up at our hotel and within minutes of meeting him, we knew we were in for a special day. He spent a few minutes on shore showing the basics of casting and explaining the game plan for the day. Dan was clear, thorough and very patient in his teaching process. Dan’s gear was all top notch and well taken care of. Time to fish! The river conditions were not ideal but that was explained to us before the trip. It didn’t take long and I had my first ever fish on fly, a 23” Brown Trout. Next fish, a stud 25” Brown, are you kidding me. Trip of lifetime! We enjoyed a nice shore lunch and spent the rest of the day just taking it all in. The scenery, the company and of course, the fishing. Dan made us feel like we were fishing with an old friend. Dave Brown Outfitters is top shelf. The booking process is fast and easy. They even set up our hotel accommodations. We’ll be back 100%. Thank you Dan Coledi & Dave Brown Outfitters.

Absolutely incredible time! Guides Dan and Jack were amazing. I fished with Dan myself and as a trout guide myself in SW Montana I couldn’t be more impressed. Had a great day and caught lots of very nice fish. Will definitely be back to fish the Bow river and wouldn’t want to do it with anyone besides those two!

What an experience! From the stunning views, the beautiful and robust fishery, and the wonderful camaraderie it was an experience I won’t soon forget. I had the pleasure to go with Dan for what was originally scheduled for a half day trip but quickly pivoted to a full day. I cannot speak highly enough of Dan - he is knowledgeable, personable, and an excellent teacher of the art of fly fishing. He takes the time to learn your level and goals and personalizes the trip to ensure you get the best experience possible. I have been lucky enough to take several guided fishing trips but this was hands down the best one I have ever taken. I wish I could give 10 stars for both Dan and the Bow river. We will definitely be back! Tight lines!

Dan is the most positive and professional guide I’ve ever fished with. He always makes the day fun for beginners or seasoned anglers alike, young or less young. He always likes to try different flies and techniques and he’s not scared of adventure. He really likes to get to know his clients and he cares about his clients as people and their life experiences. With Dan a float trip isn’t about a transaction, it’s about the experience and about having fun on the water regardless of fishing conditions! I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him to any person. His passion of fishing and zest for life really shines through!
