Customer Feedback

"Just got home this afternoon after an absolutely fabulous week of fishing and relaxing. We really enjoyed our stay. The weather was kind to us and the river stayed clear the whole time... There was a good mix of browns and rainbows. Most fish were in the 4lb range with a few at 5lb and one rainbow at 6lb. We averaged 7 – 10 fish each, every day... Your hut was a great place to stay. The beds were very comfy after the long days. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and hut with us. It all made for a fantastic time. We came home feeling refreshed after a great week away." - Dave Arnst
