This was my 1st fly fishing experience. Peter was an excellent Teacher! He was very patient as I learned the mechanics of casting, mending line, hook setting and fighting fish on a fly rod for my first time ever. Additionally, Peter took the time to explain why we were fishing different sections of the river, taught me how to read the water, pointed out the different flys he saw floating and flying above the water. He also explained what and why he was tying on the various flys which were foreign to me. Once we got on some fish, he worked his butt off rowing me back up stream so that we could re-float that section of the river. Peter, you were an awesome guide and I look forward to getting out with you again soon!
