Quite honestly my trip exceeded my expectations on every level. It was one of the most fun fly fishing I have done in a while. Ryan was extremely knowledgeable, very passionate but most importantly just a really fun guy! The fishing was such a unique urban environment1 I could not believe the volume of fish in the system. They were everywhere. Ryan had us keyed in on the flies to use and the techniques for the unusual species. It was just a blast. I really can't wait to come back to do some more exploring with Lo Water and Ryan! Thank you again! Jim Thompson

Had a great day fishing with Ryan today. He got us onto piles of fish. Great guy to go fishing with, a very knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and a solid individual. I’ll book with them again for sure.

First of all, I have never done fly fishing in any capacity but I’ve been intrigued with learning it and going after carp. Before and during the booking process, Derek answered all my questions and ensured I had all the information I needed. When the day finally came, the whole experience was amazing. I learned a lot and was fortunate to capture good-looking fish. One thing that should be known though is fly fishing is no easy business but so long as you are open-minded and willing to learn from Derek and the rest of his crew … You’ll get your fish! I will be fishing with these guys again :)

My son and I fly-fished with Todd the Frog and had a blast! Quality fish caught. Our guide was first class and the communication from the fly shop was awesome. We knew right where to meet and exactly what we needed to bring. I definitely will be booking again!

Niko was great! He knew the canals very well & knew exactly how to fish for those Carp. I learned so much about Carp & had so much fun! We landed 3 fish in 3 hours & if I was a better angler we could have landed a few more. Thank you very much! I will definitely fish with LoWater again at some point.
