    Greg was a fantastic guide! Got us on the fish early and taught us everything we needed to know about Arctic Grayling fishing. Would highly recommend this outfit to anyone wanting a good time on the Delta Clearwater. Make sure you ask for Greg! We will definitely use them again, next time around.
