“Just a quick note to compliment you and your staff for the great job that you all do at Elk River Guiding Company. My husband and I were there this last weekend and fished with one of your incredible guides and had such a great day on your beautiful river. Dry fly fishing for native Westslope Cutthroat was the highlight of our trip. We truly enjoyed our time on the river. Our guide was so competent and entertaining with good knowledge of the river and surrounding area. He is a truly an asset to your operation, as is your shop staff who helped us set up our guided trip. From start to finish, your team does a fantastic job!”
