"Thank you so much for setting up all of our trips. The guides were all exceptional and we enjoyed three great days out on the water.

(really a great guy, good fisherman - he got me on a big 19.5" brown).

I also thought Sean was a really knowledgeable fishing guide, really a student of the river. My buddies all loved it and a couple want to go get fly rods and better still, all of my daughters loved it.
