Reviews & Reputation

Review Highlights

One reviewer gave the outfitter a single star after a confrontation in the backcountry with a person they identified as the outfitter's owner. The reviewer reported aggressive and threatening language, including an alleged statement that he would "run over" the reviewers if he encountered them at a specific fishing location. Children were present during the escalation, which the reviewer found additionally troubling.

The review concerns an interpersonal conflict in a public fishing area, not the outfitter's services or facilities.

The review raises concerns about how disputes with other anglers in the area are handled.
