"the best guided experience I've ever had"
-
The most amazing guided fly fishing trip you could ask for. Isaac and Rowan are extremely knowledgeable, incredibly friendly and the most patient down to earth guides I’ve ever experienced.
The photography package was a real treat to commemorate our trip. If we would have known how epic this trip was going to be we would have forked over a lot more dough. -
Easily the best guided experience I have ever had. Isaac & Rowan guided us through a challenging river to fish and put us on the most incredible wild salmon and trout.
They not only put us on the fish, they explained the “why” of everything we did. I learned a ton. I can’t recommend a trip with them enough. You will not be disappointed! Thanks again, guys! -
Fishing a new river in Maine for the first time with my son and son-in-law.
Isaac and Rowan were both great sources of information about reading the water and adjusting the line set up to find the fish. -
Great guys, great guides! I was so impressed with their knowledge of the local water.
While on our annual fall New England trip, my wife was gracious to give me a 1/2 day off from browsing antique barns and overpriced grandkids’ clothes. Happened to get into the brookies on “one of those days”; dries, nymphs, and streamers!! Fantastic day, I’ll be back! -
Isaac and Rowan are phenomenal fishing guides. Very friendly, and very informative.
They took the time to explain why we were picking particular patterns and strategies, and gave advice on how to improve particular skills. We caught some monster landlockeds and had a fantastic day.
