Testimonials

I was on a group float trip two years ago and was fortunate to draw Chris as our guide.  Since then I have fished with Chris on five additional trips, his knowledge of the river, his ability to put you on fish and his guiding style makes for a great experience.   If you’re going to spend a day in the boat with someone, make it Chris, you will have a good  time, catch some great fish and enjoy the company.

Ced Damby

Chris is arguably one of the finest hunting and fishing guides I have ever been associated with: attention to detail, technical skill sets, anticipation of extremes, situational awareness, remarkable intelligence and insight, weather variables, safety variables, knowledge of local conditions and actors, none of these escape him. What is most unique about Chris, regards his personality. He has that unique brand of patience and empathy, which can incorporate the failures/weaknesses of the client, then turn those deficits back to proactive results. He keeps clients on point, kindly and enthusiastically.

Timothy J. Driscoll, Esquire
I appreciate how you encourage your clients. You regularly acknowledge a client that does the smallest things correctly. This trait instills confidence and obviously makes the trip enjoyable. I also appreciate how you manage instructions to your clients. You always keep the same demeanor and calmly suggest ways to improve. Combine these traits with your knowledge of the water, knowledge of the hatches etc. it makes for a very successful and enjoyable day of fishing. I am so looking forward to our next trip!
