My wife and I love to explore the best fisheries in North America, and one of our bucket list…read morewishes was to experience the thrill of trophy fishing for lake trout in The Rockies of Colorado. I researched the guide networks extensively before finding Will Dykstra at Tightline Outdoors, and last week we spent two days with Will on Spinney Mountain Reservoir. We picked a couple of days with challenging fishing weather, as there was a high pressure system over the The Rockies, and the skies were sunny and the water dead-flat. Challenging conditions for most fishing guides, but not for Will. His extensive knowledge of this fishing habitat had my wife and I landing monster rainbow trout within ten minutes on the water. I am not talking about the sedate 12-14" variety we catch in our Northern New Mexico backyard. These monsters that Will put us onto were 18"-25" fighters that literally took our breath away. Will is an extraordinary guide, and he knows his fisheries so well that we learned an incredible amount about high elevation fishing from him. His 21' Lund Explorer is extremely comfortable, and has all of the best marine electronics and fishing equipment. We had a fabulous two days with Will, and I could not recommend him more highly as not only a world-class fishing guide, but as a really class human being. We hope to make a pilgrimage to Colorado every year for a high-country fishing experience, and Will is the only person that we will call to help us explore its beautiful mountain fishing habitats.

Nate even held a "garage sale" of sorts a couple years back where he unloaded a bunch of fishing gear that he legit could have made a fortune off of, but instead chose to sell it for pennies on the dollar because he honestly cares about the fishing community and wants people out on the water. ANYWAYS I contacted tight line about a guided ice fishing trip and Dustin responded. He asked me what I had in mind. I told him I was trying to figure out walleye on a certain body of water. He said that wouldnt be a problem. He contacted me the day before the trip to let me know he was out scouting, Time I wasn't paying him for mind you. He said he marked several fish and didn't even fish them so as not to pressure them. Talk about discipline. When we arrived he was ready to go and we embarked on our quest to catch some walleye. Dustin put us right on the fish and explained that we had to be very specific in our presentation to entice a bite. Took me awhile but after his coaching I was pulling them them up. If they weren't biting Dustin was quick to hand you another rod with another setup to see if that would do the trick. He was especially patient and helpful to my girlfriend who is very very new to ice fishing. He answered my 2 million questions without hesitation and offered up more intel. Bottom line dude was the cats pajamas. Professional, knowledgeable, relatable, Walleye guru. Would recommend this company 1000 times over. Can't wait to get out with them again.

It's unfortunate to have to write this because we've always enjoyed this course. Last weekend, my…read morewife, my visiting in-laws, and I came out for a round, and our experience with the pro shop staff, specifically with STEVE, completely overshadowed what is otherwise a great golf course. Our interaction with Steve in the pro shop was extremely disappointing. He was rude, dismissive, arrogant, and overall just unprofessional throughout our interaction. The experience became so upsetting that it LEFT MY WIFE IN TEARS, which is something we've never experienced at any golf course. That's especially disappointing because Red Hawk Ridge has always been one of our favorite local courses. As Castle Rock residents, we've played here many times over the years with friends and family and have consistently enjoyed the course itself. Unfortunately, because of how we were treated by STEVE, we don't plan to return for the foreseeable future. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the level of customer service in the pro shop, because the quality of the course deserves a much better experience than the one we had. Quite frankly, I'd expect to start seeing more negative reviews specifically about Steve. He is not an asset to your organization and should not be in a customer-facing role in any way, shape, or form.

Once we arrived at the shore, it was easy access to the water. Not much shade so be prepared. We didn't try the trail because it was a very hot day without any trees along the trail-they should work on that. There were signs around the shore stating "toxic algae" but we weren't too worried because people were there (?). Our son reported itchiness once we got home-he has many environmental allergies, the other son was fine even though he fell in the water. Just be aware. The area was quite big with lots of room to paddle board in peace. Overall, a decent experience and we might return once the toxic algae situation is less of a concern.
