What Our Clients Say

John B.
It was the perfect trip for me, exposed me to things I never tried before. The dry fly stuff was very cool. I never had the opportunity to experience that before. You are one of the hardest working guides I've ever been out with. I can tell you love what you do, and it's contagious. Hope to get out with you again.

Justin and I have talked about fishing together for quite some time and we finally got a chance to get out to a popular Laurel Highlands destination. This was the very first time that I have ever fly fished for trout but I have spent about 6 years fly fishing in the Erie tributaries for steelhead. I could not have had a better guy to show me the ropes. After a 15 minute delay from a tree I caught on the first casI, we retied and were on fish. I was amazed with Justin’s knowledge of the hobby and his attention to detail. He is about 400 fish deep this year, so he spent most of the day helping me to improve my casting technique and teaching me how to read water and how to put the fly in the strike zone. However, when he decided to wet his line, he put in a show! It was a great day with a great friend and I learned more than I could have hoped to!
