“Unbelievable day spent fly fishing with my two boys at a very private and beautiful stocked trout pond. Dave was a tremendous help and very knowledgeable. He gave my boys a passion for fly fishing.”
Trey
“Dave took me to his private trout pond. We started with casting lessons and soon I was learning crucial skills. I landed over a dozen trout. Dave was knowledgeable about all things fly-fishing and generously shared tips and recommendations. My day with Dave took my skills to the next level. Above all Dave is encouraging and responsive to questions.
People like Dave are what keeps the sport of fly-fishing alive”
