Just wanted to say for my second trip to Fernie, I loved the fishing, the Fly Shop, and our fantastic guides! Being a saltwater fly-fishing guide down here in the US, I sure hope my clients think of me the way we think of your guides! Thanks for taking such great care of our group. You guys are the best!
My trip was wonderful! The Guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to be with. The scenery in Fernie was off the charts, and your hospitality was incredible. Oh yes – The fly fishing was phenomenal! I have every intention of returning to Fernie and you can count on the fact that when I do, I will be calling you!
We appreciated all your help yesterday with the fly rods! I used my new rod on the river today and it was the perfect fit! I love it! I always appreciate everyone’s help, time, and assistance at your Fly Shop. The Shop Staff are awesome… and so patient with all my questions! The Guides are amazing… I have been learning so much and I am having a blast! Thanks for Everything!
Fernie is an awesome place… thanks for making it that much better! I really appreciate all the help over the last year getting our guided trips lined up, answering questions on flies, gear, and licenses. You guys are awesome. Thanks for going out of your way every time, it does not go unnoticed! We cannot wait to see you guys again next year!
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!
Just want you want in a small-town Fly Shop, good people, great gear & fly selection, and the best guides around.
