VerifiedEJ, and his associates, always put us on the fish. He made sure we got some nice catches. I highly recommend EJ and his service and will continue to use them. I have used this service for 4-5 years now.

VerifiedRhen did a great job of getting us on the water and setting us up to catch some very nice trout! This was my first time fishing from a drift boat, so I especially appreciated his tips on casting and line management in that setting. Afterwards, my fishing buddy commented several times about how much that helped him, too. Rhen also worked really hard to find fish, even during times when weather had put them off feeding. He put in a hard day’s work for us. We’re looking forward to fishing with him again, whether for trout or smallmouth bass.

VerifiedEJ was such a good guy to spend a day with ….learning about the river & every element of fly fishing . He was so patient with our snags in the trees lol . I am primarily a spin cast guy but learning enough to feel confident that I could go & catch trout with a fly rod on my own

VerifiedAlways great floats with Alex and EJ. No matter skill level these guides make sure everyone has an enjoyable float and catches fish. I have fished with each of them several times and each experience seems better than the one before. I highly recommend them for guided trips.
