We did a 2 hour family intro fly fishing session with my parents and kids. Evan and Brandon were great at teaching the fundamentals while also making it fun for everyone. They are very knowledgeable and I would definitely come back to the Hungry Trout Fly Shop.

Evan and Brandon were our guides for a family trip. We had 4 adults and 2 kids …..most of whom had limited fishing experience. The two hour session was both fun and informative for all. Evan and Brandon were exceptional hosts and we will return.

Supportive crew, especially for beginners! Whenever I come to the area, I swing by the shop, get an idea of where to go and what flies to throw, they are always helpful, professional, and steer me in the right direction.
