VerifiedThe river was stunning. We caught rainbows and browns on nymphs, streamers and dries. The dry fly fishing was to rising fish. C J is a great guide, putting me on fish throughout the day, coaching my casting, and improving my hook ups.

VerifiedRhen gave a great introduction to the Smith. He took a non-flyfishing person and had them catching pretty quick. Awesome day on the river and learned a ton.

VerifiedSpent a cold day with Rhen on the Smith River. Took my son out for his 13th birthday to fly fish for the first time. Then was super knowledgeable, patient and put on to a lot of fish. We look forward to getting back out there in the spring.

VerifiedEJ was very patient and even though it was a cold December day (he hooked me up with some bibs to cut the cold and wind) and the bite was slow he was able to put us on some fish. Thank you for the great experience.
