Steven KeithRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFather’s Day weekend with Captain B
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 20, 2020 • 2 adultsBest Captain choice ever! Captain B’s greatest goal seemed to be making sure my son and I had a great experience . He pointed out local wildlife while putting us on trophy trout at the same time! He was very accommodating to our request to spend a little time photographing the Family of bald eagles he had pointed out! He was not only kind to us, his paying clients, he was courteous to every other angler and Captain on the water and his great personality seemed to be rewarded by the number and size of fish he was able to put us on... my son and I are already talking about next time!
Kathy Neidel5.0VerifiedBirthday surprise guided fishing tour
4 Hour Trip (AM) on December 29, 2021 • 2 adultsWe thoroughly enjoyed our time with our fishing guide, Captain Brian. He is very knowledgeable regarding fishing gear and the best place and time to use various types of fishing gear. As much as we enjoyed our time reeling in the beautiful rainbow trout of various sizes, we also enjoyed Brian's interaction with the American Bald Eagles that reside along the shores of Lake Taneycomo.

4 Hour Trip (mid-day) on July 28, 2020 • 4 adults • 2 childrenIt was supposed to rain during our scheduled time, and Brian was willing to cancel if we wanted with no penalty, or go ahead and try to go. We opted to try going and were very happy we did. The rain held off and there was a cool fog over the lake. Our family of 4 had an awesome time. Brian was super friendly, helpful and patient since he was dealing with a bunch without a lot of fishing experience and no trout fishing experience. He even took photos for us while doing everything else. Our kids are now obsessed so we will be back! Thank you

4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 17, 2022 • 3 adultsCaptain B took us fishing at Lilley”s Landing on Taneycomo Lake for trout. He is the guide to book, a half day we truly enjoyed. Will book again if back in Branson area. Thanks again, Brian!
Esteban Gonzalez5.0VerifiedCooper Creek River fun with Captain B
4 Hour Trip (mid-day) on June 25, 2019 • 3 adultsI’ll have to say this was THE BEST fishing trip that I, my wife, and my brother-in-law ever had! Captain B gave us a little education on the wildlife as we headed towards the dam and pointed out several bald eagles, brown eagles, heron, and much more. The fishing started slow since the dam was opened the night before changing the conditions (water was about 7’ deeper and much warmer). However, that short 30-40 minutes was perfect and still great fun as we got to know Captain B and shared jokes and life stories with him. He decided to change lures and once we did.... we continually caught trout the entire rest of the trip to the point of tiring him out as he netted every single one (sorry Captain B :-) !). At one point all three of us snagged a trout at the same time and he netted them all within 2-3 minutes! Truly an awesome trip with a very experienced Captain and a very enjoyable time as well. We’ll definitely book with Captain B on our next trip back to Branson!

4 Hour Trip (mid-day) on July 10, 2020 • 3 adultsWe had an awesome trip! We had a very successful day... caught PLENTY of big rainbow trout! Captain B kept us on the biggest fish all afternoon, and all the while he was steady teaching us what to do. This was our first time trout fishing, and by the time we finished, we had really learned a lot! Great spots, and Captain B was a terrific guide. We will DEFINITELY be back. Don’t hesitate... go with Captain B!
William KittrellRepeat angler5.0Verified8 hour trip with Captain Brian
8 Hour Trip on July 2, 2020 • 2 adultsHad a great day fishing with Captain Brian. My son and I caught a lot of nice size rainbow trout. Learned a lot about trout fishing. Brian had the right tackle and rods and all you do is fish. Very friendly guide and one of the best I have had. I recommend anyone including kids will have a great time as Brian will put you on the spots and everyone will have a great time. Next time in Branson, I will be booking him again!

4 hour trip
4 Hour Trip (mid-day) on August 6, 2020 • 3 adults • 1 childWe had the best time with the amazing Captain Brian! He patiently taught our 12 year old son the secrets to catching trout. The time flew by as we were busy hauling in our catch. After releasing the larger fish, we went home with plenty for a delicious family dinner! Captain Brian’s easygoing manner and patience made this trip enjoyable. We have memories that will last a lifetime!
Carol Bowersox5.0VerifiedLots of catching and fun.
