Darrin has been our long time guide for many years. He has guided myself, and my family on over a…read moredozen Fly Fishing trips. What I believe is most important in a guide, over just catching fish, is Darrin is SAFE and responsible. I trust him to guide on trips across any body of water with the most valuable person in the world to me; my son. That cant be said for all guides. With all of that said...Darrin is suburb at fishing all types of fish species across all types of water. He is patient with new anglers as well as kids. Starting as a new fisherman myself Darrin taught me the skills of Fly Fishing that I have developed over the many years of fishing with him. On top of that Darrin taught my son when he began fly fishing at the age of 12. We have caught more Steelhead, native trout, strippers and bass than I can count. I would highly recommend Darrin for any California, Oregon, Idaho fishing trips. I would not hesitate to contact him for any other trips or states you plan to fish solo or with your family. Darrin I'm happy to be used as a reference for any of your clients. Feel free to have them call me direct.

We along with two other families have been going on a father/son fishing trip every year for over…read more15 years. Over time we have used a lot of guides. Having said this, our group definitely has "go-to" guides; and Matt is one of them. Everybody in the group loves going out with Matt. We like him because he has a great demeanor and is an awesome guide, coach and instructor. He is great with both kids and adults, and is able to adjust his approach to the demeanor, preferences and skill level of the person he is guiding. If you want to catch fish, have fun, improve your fishing all with a great guy...Matt is your guide. As an aside, an added benefit of fishing with Matt is he is a trained field medic--it's nice to go out with him, especially when we are in rugged and remote country. I would HIGHLY recommend Matt as a fly fishing guide... please, just don't book him for those days that we are on one of our trips! Thanks...

I was visiting my daughter and her family who live in Livermore (I live in Minnesota) and wanted to…read moreintroduce my 16 year old grandson to trout fishing with a fly. This type of fishing isn't available near Livermore but I was aware of the fishery around Redding and was also aware of the Fly Shop because of their worldwide fly fishing travel services. I called and easily booked a guide for a one day float trip on the Sacramento River. We drove up from Livermore and spent the night in Redding and showed up at the Fly Shop the next morning to meet our guide Shane. Although I own enough fly fishing gear myself to stock a small store I didn't want to lug it all on the plane but Shane provided all the gear we needed - rods, reels, flies etc. I asked Shane to focus on my grandson and he was a big help in upgrading my grandson's skills. He hooked numerous rainbow trout and landed a few which were carefully handled and released by Shane. It was a great day - a nice clean drift boat, a skillful and friendly guide, beautiful scenery, and a good lunch. I highly recommend

When I went into the store, I went in with the thought that you knew what you were selling and…read morewe're well informed, but that was not the case and if you go back to the video you speak about, how many times did the sales person that was with me tell me this is not my field and I don't know that much about it. He said that numerous times with the other person behind the counter that wasn't doing anything,hearing this, but saying nothing throughout the whole process. And after $300, it turns out the lenses are not correct for what I need. They're good glasses, but they don't work properly for my usage. At no point through this did that sales person or the person behind the counter say ,wait , let me find somebody in the store that does know about these glasses to help make an informed decision.What it felt like from this store was , pick something out, pay us and get out. And the smile you say on my face as I left was definitely a misread on your part..
