Our day with Gene down the snake river was great. He explained the basics, and answered any questions we had/helped whenever we looked like we needed it. I ended up catching one fish and my husband caught 4, and this was our first time ever. I liked that we floated down the river but were also able to get out and walk in the shallow areas. We also got so lucky, a moose just happened to walk out of the bushes as we were standing there, practicing casting lines. It was a moment I'll always remember! Beautiful day, great guide, and I would highly recommend the full day over the half day.

It was challenging and exciting but not unsafe for our beginner experience levels. Taylor kept an excellent watch over our ability and knowledge to be sure we could handle each rapid well before it arrived. Her guidance made it a fun and beautiful day. We spent over an hour in the car getting to the launch site and back and enjoyed every minute because Taylor is a fascinating person and a great conversationalist. One of our kayaks got loose and went downstream and Taylor exerted a tremendous amount of extra effort to get things back together. She was a good sport about it even though it created a lot of extra work for her. I've also rented inflatable kayaks from Rendezvous and they do a great job. I came with zero knowledge of kayaks or local conditions and they got me the right equipment and made sure I knew just where to go. Rendezvous is very fair about pricing. We discovered that we needed a guided trip instead of a rental and they credited the full amount of the rental toward the guided trip

Unfortunately, REI pulled their outdoor adventures, but Rendezvous picked up where they left off and made improvements. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and created a fun and safe environment. Luke and Taylor were a fantastic team. We had a great time. The adding of the white water kayaking on the last day was a huge upgrade. Taylor's knowledge of each rapid allowed me to take them on with confidence. We did miss have Luke on this portion of the trip, however we understand he had to take care of the "clean up" for the equipment on the trip. We can't say enough about this trip and the unforgettable memories we made. I would highly recommend this trip.

Chris is an earnest, hard working person who always does his best to be sure that his clients are safe, happy and enjoying themselves.

Chris is great with kids; my son and daughter ski with Chris and my son LOVES to fish with Chris.

We fished yesterday and I made my displeasure clear several times on the water and off that we were here to catch fish not just take a pleasure rafting trip. I assume he either didn't tell the proprietor or they don't care as they've had yesterday afternoon/evening and all morning today to reach out (it's now noon the following day). Given the crickets, I'm now writing this review. Initially I spoke with Brian on the phone and he put me at ease as did their online reviews. After finding out that we wanted to catch fish and have views he recommended the Snake River for a full day session. Admittedly he said it was one of the final days for fishing the Snake as the water would be rising later this week, but that we would still be good. We shouldn't expect champion trophies as that was another river, but it would still be plenty of cutt-throat Troutt and a lot of fun with an insane view. Typically 2 out of 3 ain't bad, but given we were there for fish, the view and fun only equate to 1 Star. Admittedly we got 1 bite the entire 6+ hours and I reeled it in so we didn't get completely skunked, but I could have saved half the money and just done the scenic raft tour twice as that's effectively what we received. - 5 stars: fishing guide + 5 stars: equipment + 5 stars: views + 5 stars: fun on the river + 2 stars: education (based on expectation set by other reviews) We had Ian and he was a nice guy and overall we had a good trip with some laughs. I like the guy personally and other than catching fish, we had a great time on the river. However, he admitted at the beginning of the day that this was only his 3rd official outing this year on the Snake and later that he had never personally fished from the groups fishing holes. Neither are good signs as both caused alarm. He didn't know where the fish were biting and it seemed clear that this is not his normal fishing area. That's an absolute first for a fishing guide and not a good first. When you're paying this type of money for a fishing guide you should expect them to be intimately familiar with the water and be able to put you on fish. That was most definitely NOT the case. He clearly knows fly fishing and there definitely was some education, but nothing like what was described by other reviewers. I caught on almost immediately and received a few solid tips from him as he mainly focused on helping my wife. We're both first timers, but were quickly casting to specific areas he would point out and following whatever instruction he gave to improve our odds. I think he really tried to help us catch and even verbalized his frustration a few times at us getting skunked, but at the end of the day, it's his job and the reason we pay the hefty fee, for him to know all the honey holes and where the fish are biting today. Did I mention it was our 20th wedding anniversary and we chose to fish for the day? The Good: Ian is a nice guy who loves Fly Fishing They have good equipment and handle all the details They have a cool spot/camp off the river that's a great place to relax and have your lunch The Snake views are stunning In the first 5 minutes we saw a moose, a marmont and was almost boarded by a beaver The Bad: Doesn't know where to find fish on the Snake Doesn't fish this river enough to know where they are biting Isn't a fishing guide at least for this river Bottom line: if you don't care about catching fish and just want to have a good time with great views, then this is the school/guide for you.
