I booked with WCA about 3-4 weeks before going to Victor ID on a family vacation. I spoke with Chris on the phone, told him about my fly fishing experience, strengths, weaknesses, and goals. He recommended a full day float trip on the lower Snake River based on time of year and my fly fishing abilities. I met my guide, Jesse the morning of the trip and we hit it off fairly quickly during the drive to the river. On the water Jesse had me make a few casts to determine my ability, gave me a couple tips for better casting, and I had a fish on my 4th cast! The winds rose to 45mph in the canyon that day and Jesse worked extremely hard to keep me in good casting position. I landed 15+ fish that day and lost a few more. Most of the other guides/anglers we saw at the take-out ramp were talking about landing 5-10 fish even with 2 anglers aboard. Jesse's work on the oars and his intuition to change from dry flies (which were working, but very hard to cast in the wind) to nymphs made all the difference and gave me a very memorable and...
Read moreMy fiancé and I had always wanted to learn how to fly fish, so on our road trip across Idaho to Yellowstone we were looking for a guided trip that wouldn’t break the bank. We were nervous about our lack of experience fishing, but our guide Cliff had us reeling fish in within minutes on the water.

The views surrounding the river are incredible, but we were too busy reeling in fish to truly soak them in. I never leave reviews online, but after a day on the water with Cliff, I felt compelled to share my experience to encourage others to book a fly fishing trip with...
Read moreHoly cow, how much time do you all have? Our dad and grandfather have been going fishing with these guys for 20+ years with their company and raving about the fishing and the world class guiding. We were ecstatic to finally get a chance to experience everything they've raved about in July of 2025. There were 6 of us that fished for 2 days with Brian McCabe, Ryan Christensen, and Erik White on the Snake, and we all wished it could've lasted all week. These men are knowledgeable, patient, kind, and hilarious to visit with and hang out with. We caught piles of Whitefish, Cuts, Cutbows, Rainbows, and some slab Browns. They were fantastic teachers, knew the river well, and were great to take care of us newbies. We WILL be back, and can't say enough good about these 3 gentlemen. Thank...
