An absolutely amazing time with Evan of Sweetwater Guide Service! Hands down the best first timer…read morefishing experience I could ever ask for. I went for my birthday and Evan didn't disappoint. He was really easy going, safe and gave great teaching instructions on how to use the fishing pole and best tips to catch fish. The scenic tour of the river while we fished was top notch! Absolutely Gorgeous. We felt welcomed and comfortable the whole time. The river was calm, the fishing was great and the whole experience stellar. I highly recommend if you want a great fishing experience (especially if this is your first time) then go with Sweetwater.

Evan was amazing and truly knows how to have fun and enjoy everything nature has to offer. He's…read morekind, considerate, incredibly knowledgable and never makes you do things his way. He just knows the river and wants everyone to experience the joy of fishing and the outdoors. He gave me the smallest of pointers when things were a little slow and not two minutes later, I pulled in a 22-23 inch Brown. Just the most fun I had in a while. Great sense of humor to boot. Thanks Evan!!

For my 50th birthday I decided to treat myself to a guided fly fishing trip with Baxter House this…read morepast spring. Using their online booking form, I reserved a full day float trip for $450 and made the $90 deposit as required. Subsequently, I noticed on my online credit card statement that in fact $550 was debited towards the trip. So I went back to their website and in fact their website advertised yet a third different price for the trip (the online booking form listed it at $450 when I made the reservation). Therefore, I later called Baxter House to inquire about the difference as well as to touch base about the trip itself being that I had a few questions regarding logistics, etc. The conversation started with the logistics and particulars of the trip. Although I was trying to ask some specific questions, the lady I was speaking with seemed more interested in giving a canned speech to me than actually listening to my questions. Finally, I was able to get her to answer the questions I had but to be honest it was painful to listen to her rant, cut me off, and basically be verbally belligerent. I saved the query about the difference in booking price for the end and when I politely asked why I was charged $550 instead of the $450 that the online booking form advertised at the time of booking, her response was "Well, our website hasn't been current for quite some time and we don't negotiate on the price of our trips". When asked if she understood my concern about booking their services at one price and subsequently being charged more, she became very defensive and even more rude, asking several times over "Well, do you want to cancel this trip or not?" Although the $100 wasn't going to be enough of a difference for me to cancel the trip, her belligerent attitude certainly was and that's exactly what I did. I made it clear to her that I was okay with paying the higher price but I wasn't okay with the way she was handling herself. That's the exact point when she hung up on me. Subsequently, I emailed the owner explaining the situation but that wasn't of much help. Obviously, he had gotten only her side of the story because to paraphrase his response, "We don't put up with our staff getting harassed by clients and we don't negotiate our rates". I'd like to make it very clear that I was never rude or belligerent to the person I spoke to. This is an important point to make because often times when reading reviews you are getting a slanted "one side only" account of the events. The owner in the same email response to me agreed to refund half of the cost of the trip "against their policies". Well, not a cent was ever refunded to me after giving them some time to do so. Therefore, I disputed the charge with my credit card company and never heard another word from Baxter House. While I'm sure their guides provide a quality trip, the behavior of the "lady" whom I spoke to was nothing short of appalling and even though I gave the owner a chance to call me so we could hash the disagreement out, he never made any attempt to do so nor did he issue the refund he said he would. I'd recommend steering WELL clear of Baxter House. In fact, take a look at the screenshots I posted with this review. Their website advertises their Full Day Trout Float Trip at $550. You'll see that on their online booking form the trip is quoted as $600 and below that the "total cost" is $450. Three different prices!
