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!

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!
