Had a great day on the river with Troy! Our first time fly fishing. Troy was patient and worked to teach us the ropes. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trout guide. Will definitely be looking for an opportunity to come fish with him again.

We had the best day with Troy. He was a fantastic guide. He had a great boat and all the equipment he supplied was very good. He was very patient with us as we did not have a lot of experience fly fishing. He was a good teacher. He took very good care of us. We will definitely go back and fish again. Thanks Troy.
