We went on an all-day guided trip with Don this past week and had the BEST day! We were beginners and he was so patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. Would recommend him and the Trout Shop for guided trips if you are in Craig, Montana!

This place was 10/10! From the one stop shop it has for all fishing needs, the snacks, sweets, and meals from Rocky wheelhouse, to the welcoming people they have running the show. Thanks for being hospitable and friendly! Can’t wait to come back :)
