Magic Trout fishing, great guide! I went out for a day with Brennen mid-September in bright and hot fall conditions - the spring creeks were running clear and air temps got up to 88 F. Even with the brightness and heat, he found us some shady spots and put me on fish all day from early morning until 8pm when we called it a day. Over 2 dozen caught (all C&R), and a fair few takes missed (by me).
It was the most fishing fun I have had, for the chats, the tranquil surroundings and the full-on fishing experience; also my best days catch. Brennen was kept busy too swapping me in and out of rods like nobodys business, when I was caught dancing too close to overhangs or far banks. I got to try different rod weights and lengths from the latest Orvis offerings, which added something extra to the whole experience. I also got to see different waters, catch the 3 local trout varieties and test different methods; my deep nymphing experience was limited before this trip.
If you want a great days fishing, you have got to go Preston, MN and try the Driftless Fly Fishing Company. In my case I needed all the gear (waders, rods, the lot) which was ready to go as well as refreshments (fresh water was much needed that day) and lunch was great. Before I hired them, I saw all the 5 star reviews and reckoned these guys can't get it so right all the time. Well they did for me and the team I met (Brennen and Mel) are fantastic gents, pleasant, willing to share fishing stories and super professional; both a credit to their business and the Orvis brand. I can't wait to get out with them again and hit the many streams we did't get to yet. I would highly recommend them to old hands who want to just fish on great and varied waters and equally to someone who has never tried spring creek fly-fishing for trout, truely a not to be missed experience.
✔ Yes,
I recommend this product.

TESTIMONIALS FROM CLIENTS
MEL, I just wanted to let you know my sincere appreciation for what was a fantastic days fishing for me Saturday. The whole experience was exactly what I wanted - chill time on a wide variety of beautiful fishing water with a knowledgeable and passionate expert, using the various rods and gear he brought. But it went from great to brilliant because of the amount of fish Brennan put me on, some of which I managed to catch ;-). We counted 28 netted at the end of the day. This was my most enjoyable and successful days fishing. And I am sure with some cloud cover and more hatch activity we could have seen even more. We finished up after 8pm fishing into the dark on Willow in the wide meadowed banked area, where the trout of the day was caught on a green nymph. I left wanting more - just a pity I had to fly East otherwise, I would have fished a day or 2 more. I will be sharing my fishy tales on the area and your business with my fishing network. If I can provide you with any reference or quotes that would help your business - just let me know. If you could mention to Brennan to send on the photos he took to me that would also be great. Thanks again and I am hoping I can get back to Preston for more sooner rather than later, needless to say I am now hooked on Driftless! Dave Customer from Dublin Ireland Mel. A belated “thank you" for all your services RE my October 3rd guided trip. The Access line worked great. We learned a lot. Richard caught a good sized Brown as his first fish on his new hand-made rod. He also caught a couple brookies. I caught a rainbow and two browns. While bringing in the last brown I fell over in the pasture, everyone had a good laugh, but I didn’t loose the fish! Roxane is a bait fisherman, and I had hoped she would get into FF. Last I spoke with her she was talking about getting a rod, so there is hope! (I know she appreciated Scott’s good efforts to help her cast, even if she was not the best student.) The best part for me was walking back at night through the river a couple miles to the car, under the bright stars and the milky way. Once again you guys showed us an outstanding day on the water. I’ll see you in the Spring (if nothing comes-up before then). All the best. Tom h ★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars. Whelen35 · 3 years ago Again and Again; I have fished with Mel for several years. Not only is he a great guy, he will get you into fish and some of the most beautiful places SE Minnesota has to offer. 2014 will be my 10th year fishing with Mel and I intend to keep on doing so until one of us can't. I love the float trip! |
