"Absolutely outstanding trip Derek! I can't recommend your services enough. For me, it was learning the basics and he was patient and was great at finding helpful tips on what I was doing wrong / right and how to fix or improve it. The lunch in the middle of the river was great as well."

"Great day Derek and thanks for the experience!"

"Great day on a special river, Derek was an energetic, helpful guide with great new equipment he had us using...I want more!"

 "I can't wait to do it again!"

"Derek was an outstanding guide and created a great fly fishing experience. He was by far the best fishing guide I have found and I plan a return trip this September."

 "Derek brought the patience of Job to fishing. He got me into fish, untied every rat’s nest, handing me a new pole to fish with while he untied my last knot. And he made a spectacular lunch spread. Great day, Amazing Guide!"

"Fantastic! The food was fresh, the beer was cold; honestly, what more could you ask for?"

"We had a beautiful day, great company, great knowledge; he showed me the eco system and the philosophy behind what we were doing. There was nothing in my mind that could have been improved."

"We fished a stretch of the Yakima that I was unfamiliar with -it was beautiful! As an added bonus, we didn't encounter any other anglers, so it was like we had the river all to our selves."

  "Derek was well organized and very knowledgeable of the Yakima River. He was a great teacher and helped me accomplish my fly fishing goals for the day."

  "Derek made sure the experience was top notch from start to finish. Especially impressive was his attention to making sure he knew right away what my expectations were for the float. Fantastic experience overall!"

"Derek was very focused on understanding what I was looking for on the trip. That attention combined with his knowledge of the river and his friendly personality made the float very productive and enjoyable. The gear was excellent, the food was excellent, we caught fish consistently."
