Trevor was absolutely a 5-star guide. Our fly fishing trip in March was incredible from start to finish. The views were stunning, and Trevor’s expertise really showed in how smoothly everything went. We caught both rainbow and brown trout, and each fishing stop felt unique and thoughtfully chosen. Everything was fully equipped with all the gear we needed, which made the experience easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend Trevor for anyone looking for a memorable fly fishing trip.
