We had an amazing day with Thomas! He was outstanding and incredibly patient as he assisted us, newcomers to fly fishing. His equipment was top-notch, and he was extremely supportive throughout.

July 30, 2025

I gotta say, Captain Thomas knows his stuff when it comes to fly fishing! Had a blast out there with him, and his gear was top-notch. Caught some awesome fish and picked up some cool tricks along the way. Totally recommend him for a chill fly fishing experience!

July 30, 2025

Captain Thomas provided an outstanding fishing experience! His expertise, top-notch gear, and patient guidance made the trip unforgettable, and we'll definitely be booking with him again in the future.

July 30, 2025

Thomas is a great guide and knows steelhead by heart, anybody wanting to wrestle with some chrome beauties should give him a call!!!

July 30, 2025

My experience with Thomas’ guide service was fantastic! Thomas provided top-notch, brand new fly fishing gear, and his tackle was impeccably arranged. As a beginner in fly fishing, Thomas patiently and calmly taught me the basics and even helped me catch a good-sized steelhead. I'm already looking forward to booking another trip with him the next time I'm in town!

July 30, 2025

Although Thomas is a new guide, his fishing expertise shines through with his excellent instincts on bait selection, fishing strategies in different conditions, and knowing when to switch locations. While our catch may not have been abundant, the experience was still remarkable, and we gained valuable knowledge that we wouldn't have achieved without an experienced guide like Thomas. Many thanks to him for helping my son land his first (second, third, and fourth :-)) steelhead!
