Fantastic First Fly Fishing Outing
"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time fly fishing on the Yellowstone River with Nicole. She is a fantastic guide: giving us enough instruction but not too much, so we could really enjoy ourselves and not worry about ‘getting it right,” She manages that boat and its oars as if she were a person twice her size, and I swear she directs the boat to where the fish are!"
-Leslie T.
