"John was with us for 2 days on a fly fishing trip. If you want a guide who treats you like family or close friend this is your guy. The fishing was great and clearly he has the entirety of the two rivers we hit memorized. Whether it’s your first time or you are a fly fishing greybeard he’ll sure you up for a good time"
