My wife and I fished with Mark in July and we could not have had a better day. Mark is a great guide, teacher, coach and it was awesome to... read more see him get just as excited about the fish as we were to hook one. We learned quite a bit, caught several trout, lost some along the way and enjoyed ourselves. One thing that Mark did that really impressed us was taking the time to review the skills and how we would fish once we were in the boat. Particularly walking through the process of how we would land the fish which meant we did not waste anytime on the water. When he coached our cast or directed us onto a fish we know exactly what he meant and were able to react quickly.

It is clear that Mark has a passion for guiding and cares about the river. We strongly recommend fishing with him and you will not be disappointed.

  Mark took me for a float on the Middle Fork of the Flathead in June 2019. My purpose was to see his teaching style and how he worked with clients... read more since my 13 year old grandson was coming up in July to fish. Alec, my grandson, has done some fly fishing but is still a beginner. My goal was for him to learn the proper way to cast, mend, and read the water.
Mark and I floated a half day and I was successful in landing several cutthroats on both dry flies and a dry dropper. Mark had a relaxed way of correcting my mistakes. In late July he did an exceptional job with Alec who learned good techniques and was successful in landing a couple of trout.
I plan on fishing with Mark again this summer and hopefully fish the Missouri in June 2021. Bill Sugars
