I had a fantastic day fishing with Paco. The water conditions were a bit iffy, but Paco was great at dealing with the muddy water. Probably the best day of trout fishing i’ve ever had.

Paco and Tyler were outstanding guides — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure we had a great time on the water. They answered every question with expertise and kept the energy fun and welcoming throughout the day. Couldn't ask for a better experience — highly recommend!
