I found the Double Diamond X Ranch when searching for a fly fishing guide service for when we were…read morein Cody. I called them and worked with Jenine to book a 4 hour fishing trip. Their rates for a guided 4 hour trip was well in the range for guided trip. I was very happy with our guide as well. He was very patient and worked the River very thoroughly. He also showed my wife how to cast. We had our 3 children with us and they had a great time exploring the river bank and looking at all of the elk and dear tracks. The River was also a private section, and we had more tha a mile of undisturbed fishing. We caught around 10 fish with a nice 14" cutthroat as the prime catch. I would highly suggest the Double Diamond for a single or family fishing adventure. It did take about 45 minutes to get their from Cody, but the drive was picturesque.

I'm very unfamiliar with Wyoming, but the scenic sights overlooking the South Fork Valley were breathtaking every step of the way. Our guide introduced us to flora of region sharing their homeopathic uses and spoke of the remote wilderness within the Thorofare beyond the mountains in their backyard. Despite being late in the season nearing Mid-September when rides start to become unavailable in the region, the hosts were incredibly accommodating and cordial. We were able to make our reservation earlier that same day. My only regret was not scheduling more time to dine, drink, and explore the South Fork from the quaint and peaceful Double Diamond X Ranch. During my next visit to Wyoming, this Ranch will be high on my list of places to visit.

We arrived about an hour before the sunset on a nice summer day. Most of the campsites were occupied, but the sites there are large and spread out, so there was plenty of peace and quiet. I set up our tent and we were happy to see that the tent pad was soft and was not lumpy with rocks. The sun set behind the mountains behind us but there was plenty of ambient light for us to enjoy our dinner. We got ready for bed and we were in the tent as soon as it was dark. The weather was perfectly cold and our tent felt so comfortable. The vault toilets were maintained and running water to wash dishes was convenient.

We completely…read moreenjoyed it and although we prefer to tent (they have sites for both RV and tent) we chose a site with electricity and water (it was well treed) with convenient walk access to the shower/bathroom. The showers are coin purchase minutes,something my husband grumbles about, but I can appreciate. We walked down to the primitive camp site and it was very private by the river with many trees. The only downfall, not the parks fault, was a farmer adjacent to the park started mowing at 6 am!? Yes it woke me up!! Grrrr!! However, We felt extremely blessed to have picked this camp site just 40 miles east of Yellowstone, instead of camping in the park where it's colder and extremely populated to the point of feeling claustrophobic! Consider yourself privileged if you can secure a reservation here!

One of the ducky boats our group rented ripped at the beginning of the ride. Not sure why it happened because we were following the guide. When we asked if we could get a refund for the two people who were in the ripped ducky, since they weren't all able to enjoy the ride and only got through 5 min of it, we were told no and that if anything we should be paying for the damage. I don't think that was fair of the owner to say something like that and to not even offer a refund or another ride.

We notified the guide and he just said for them to pull off and get out on the trail and kept going, he didn't stop or anything to make sure they at least got out safely. We kept going assuming they'd get out and get to the van but it had already left, and they had to walk barefoot dragging the boat to the top. I couldn't even enjoy most of the ride worried for my friends. When we finally got out of the water and found the girls, Mike (I assume the owner) didn't even see if they were ok but was pissed and made a comment about how they just ruined a $3000 boat. Again it wasn't their fault that it ripped and on top of that they had to sit out by the road without their shoes phones or anything (we left everything in the van) for 2 hours while we were rafting. When we went to ask if they could get a refund because they absolutely did not get the experience they paid for and Mike told us That not only will we not get a refund but we may have to pay for the boat that ripped, very unprofessional, very upset with this experience! The ride itself went great and had it not been for this experience with the owner it would've been 5 stars for me

Out party of three had no problem with the change. The guides were Royce (guide) Clayton (wrangler) and Kate (cook). I will say up front that they are the best. Very confident, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a medical issue come up with one of the other guest on day four that they handled expertly. This issue resulted in another change of route but again my party had no issues with the change.Kate needs special recognition as one fine trail cook. The meals she was able to prepare were excellent ranging from biscuits and gravy to eggs, bacon and potatoes for breakfast to the best steak I've had in my many visits to Cody to chili, spaghetti and pork loins for supper. She's the best. As for the actual ride itself, well all I can say is that I thought I'd be a lot more sore but in reality didn't feel bad once I was off the horse at the end of the day. Couple of notes, the altitude can play hell with your stamina if you're not acclimated, if you're shy about stripping down and bathing in a cold stream then bring lots of personal wipes. Make sure your sleeping bag is rated appropriately. I used a surplus Army two piece system that was perfect. Drink a lot of water throughout the day, don't wait til you're thirsty to hydrate. Trout fishing at the campsites was pretty good for those that fish. If you want a week long experience that will be the envy of your friends then you need to book this trip, remain flexible with any unforeseen changes and go enjoy the scenery.
