We had a great time chasing carp in the canals with Derek. He was a great guide — flexible when storms affected the start of our trip, relaxed and friendly, and focused on getting us on the fish. Despite not having much experience, I was able to have success trying this new kind of fishing, and completed my goal of catching carp on a fly. Never thought I would be fishing a dry dropper rig or swinging streamers for carp — and yet I caught fish on both! Great trip and would love to be back.

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.

I had thought of myself as a competent fly fisherman until I had a few solo sessions with Arizona canal carp. I was frustrated in the extreme and sought professional help! Derek saved my ego with two excellent trips. Not only did he put me on feeding fish but he coached my moves to actually net a beauty after I had missed many takes. I lookfoward to my next outing with him.
