John was great. Excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We were first timers and he made us feel comfortable with proper instruction but never over coached. He was was also patient when we lost a few too many flys back to back! We will be back. Highly recommend.

John is the best guide. He really knows the water and works really hard to make sure you have a most successful day.  He’s also a delightful personality

My partner and I took a 6 hour float trip with John on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. The booking process on Guidesly was very easy and convenient. We had a fantastic day. It was my partner's first time fishing and John was patient and helpful throughout. No frustration. We caught way more fish than I expected! About 6 or 7 between the two of us. Good size rainbow and brown trout. John also had a great knowledge of the local environment, wildlife, and history. I have been on dozens of guided trips in the past and this was one of the very best!

John was a great guide! This was our group's first time fly fishing and we mentioned that to John when booking. He then setup our session to be a great balance of instruction and fishing. There was no one else at the spot we went to fish, and John even mentioned if it had been crowded he had other close options for us to go to. Once in the water, John moved throughout the group - giving us all coaching and guidance. We went in with the expectation of learning a lot and trying some things out - hopefully getting the urge to continue fly fishing. We had no expectation of catching anything, but two members of our group caught their first fish! It was a great experience and I would recommend John to everyone!

Three months before I sold my business I dreamed of the first couple of things that I would do when I locked my door for the last time. . The first was to visit my son who lived out of state. The second was to wet a line with my old college roommate John Rogers. Back in college John would guide me , some 30 plus years ago ....long before he became a professional accomplished guide. We fished the Wallomsac and the Hoosic. Not only did he put me on the fish , but educated me on the area and fisheries as well. Thanks for the memories. Cant wait to return

My wife and I and our 14-year old son went out for a day of fishing with John Rogers as our guide. John is an amazing guide! He knows how to fish, but more importantly, he knows how to teach people to fish. He spent time with my 14-year-old son and really worked with him to know what flies to use and how to cast where the fish will bite. We would highly recommend John for anyone looking for a great fishing experience! Can’t wait to come back to Vermont and do it again! Thanks John for a great day!
