    Review summary

    Excellent
    17 reviews•Google Maps

    Tom emerges from these reviews as an exceptionally patient and knowledgeable guide who specializes in making beginners feel comfortable on the water. Multiple first-time fly fishers mention arriving nervous and leaving confident, catching far more fish than expected. His teaching style gets consistent praise for being clear and encouraging, even when dealing with tangles and mistakes that come with learning. Beyond technical skill, reviewers repeatedly note his friendly personality and ability to make the day enjoyable through easy conversation and genuine enthusiasm for the sport. The San Juan River appears to be his primary location, where his intimate knowledge of the water consistently puts clients on fish throughout the day. Even experienced anglers mention learning new techniques and appreciate his expert rigging and fly selection. Several reviewers specifically mention return trips or plans to book again, which speaks volumes. Whether you're a complete novice or someone looking to refine your skills, Tom's combination of expertise, patience, and personable demeanor seems to create memorable experiences that go well beyond just catching fish.

    Tom was literally the BEST guide!! He was incredibly knowledgeable and kind and professional. Truly created the BEST experience for my husband and I. We caught SOOO many fish! He is wonderful! I’m so glad he is in business doing what he does best. We will absolutely use his business again and recommend him to many friends and family. 5 stars easily. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
