Need to book a guided fishing trip or to buy a fishing license - - they can help you. A few years ago, they organized a guided fly fishing trip on the Yellowstone River for my 15 year old niece . It was a trip of a life time for her. She was so excited about the drift boat and catching so many fish on that trip. She is in college now and still has great memories of that fishing trip. They have been very helpful in teaching me about fly fishing gear and tying flies. They are very knowledgeable and very helpful. You can buy an original Pink Pookie here. Dean was the original designer of the Pink Pookie. You have got to stop and see it for yourself! I highly recommend this business.

We have a huge selection of patterns.

Booking this experience contributes to the pain and suffering of horses! This was my first ever…read morehorseback riding experience and it was unfortunately the most traumatizing. My partner attempted to get on the horse and the horse collapsed with him on its back. We were repeatedly told that the horse was fine and was still okay to ride. They lied. We trusted professionals to ensure our safety and the safety of their own horses. I have videos of the horse ride showing the horse constantly bobbing its head up and down. Not knowing much about riding, I still knew that this didn't look right. "Bobbing its head up and down indicates lameness, discomfort, or pain". WHY LET US RIDE THEN?! We were also told that this exact horse had 10 rides the day before, including someone who weighed up to almost 400lbs. HOW IS THAT HUMANE?! Why do other companies have weight limits and this one does not? If someone is too big for the horse, MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T BE RIDING THAT POOR HORSE TO BEGIN WITH! Knowing that my money contributed to the pain and suffering of these horses is killing me. This company should be ashamed of themselves for allowing these horses to live in pain solely for human profit. I would have much rather cancelled this whole experience and received a refund, but instead they let us ride an already badly injured horse. Once this horse can't take it anymore, they will likely just break another's back. If you truly love horses, this is not the place to spend your money. Please contact Paintbrush Adventures instead! I went there after my terrible experience here and I actually learned so much about horseback riding and safety!

He took the time to listen to my positive 30 year history with my custom Simms waders as well as my current needs and preferences. This was not a 911, as my waders are still performing. It was more of a proactive possible purchase visit. Jack was extremely knowledgable, patient, and committed to helping me. He knows the product line and referenced the posted size charts. He remained personable and did not grow weary despite the number of waders he retrieved and repackaged. Jack also had me try on the available sample neoprene footies in various sizes. At his suggestion, we brought in both pairs of my wading boots. Sorry about the dried up gravel :0). With Jack's full support, I was able to leave with a pair of woman's G3 waders feeling fully satisfied that I was given the time, patience and attention that I needed. I am a very grateful lady!
