Had a Wonderful Time
Had a wonderful time with Lance, our guide and teacher, on the Yellowstone River. We learned all the basics and even caught a fish each. It was great that their team shuttled the truck and boat trailer downstream so it was waiting for us at the end. We will definitely return to Paradise and to go with Montana Fly Fishing Guides again.
