Jeff, our guide, was awesome! We were forced to adjust on fly after another guide did not confirm.  Jeff was very prompt in communicating and was very personable at every point throughout the trip!  He made us feel welcomed and he put us on fish immediately and we were able to catch our limit and then some! He was also great with my 9 year old twin boys and he even let them “help” with cleaning.  I have previously used guides in the area
and Jeff would rank up there with the best!  Our family would definitely look to use him again in the future.

When I booked the fishing trip for my sons and I, our first guide cancelled on us leaving less that 24 hours to find another guide.  I was able to book a trip with Jeff and I’m so glad I did.  Jeff is easy going yet super professional.  In two hours he managed to teach three people who had never fished for trout before everything from the use of an unfamiliar reel, casting, different techniques depending on fish location, tips to cool down when it’s hot on the water (100+) and everything until the fish were in the boat and eventually cleaned and ready to cook.  I can’t thank him enough for really teaching us a lifetime skill. 

He definitely knows where the fish are and the methods that work in different conditions.  Even beginners will experience the thrill of hauling in their limit of beautiful rainbow trout.  We will definitely call him next time we come back and either catch some more trout in the cold water on Taneycomo or maybe have him show us how to catch some Monster Bass or Walleye on Table Rock.  Either way I trust him to make it a memorable experience… HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We had an absolutely perfect experience with Jeff. He not only had the knowledge of knowing where the fish normally hung out but the equipment onboard to make sure we were able to cast right into them. He was AMAZING with our 13 year old son and was fully willing and flexible to take us to locations where we could catch multiples quickly, or have to work a bit harder to catch larger fish.

We all caught our bag limit + some (that we of course released) and I even caught a nice 4lber. On top of ALLLL of that, our experience time was all fishing time. We were on the boat and fishing for 4 full hours. He didn’t count our check in and fishing license time against our experience time, AND didn’t count the time he spent cleaning the fish for us against our experience time. Soooo many people would have had us out there fishing for only 3 hours so they could account for the check in and fish cleaning time and not spend more than 4 hours total with us.

I also really really appreciated how patient and kind he was with my kiddo staring over his shoulder and asking him a bunch of questions while he was cleaning the fish. He never got annoyed or bothered by it at all. And by doing so taught us a better way to clean and cook the fish.

HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!

We had a great day catching Trout! Our 9 year old daughter started us off, catching a trout on her first cast! We fished for in a few different spots, catching in every spot we went to! We love to fish! Don’t get to do it often! So, we jumped on the opportunity when we booked our vacation! It was a windy day. So, our Captain maneuvered the boat to benefit us. He has some great technology to find the fish! He also went out early, before our arrival to find the honey holes! He is personable. We enjoyed his company. Our daughter tangled her line ALOT. He fixed her up, and would cast for her, while my husband and I fished! Captain Jeff is really a good guy. You know, one of those people you meet, and you think , I just met someone awesome! Out of 100 visits, we would fish 100 times with him! He will get you in the fish! He even offered to fish with us longer, for free, if we didn’t catch our limit! Absolutely a fabulous day fishing with this guy!

Captain Jeff was great, knew his stuff, and taught us some of his tricks of the trade.  we had a great time and highly recommend him.  we even unexpectedly got into some great white bass on the trip.
