Awesome time on the half day fly fishing trip. Our guide, Ryan, was an expert. He did a great job…read moreteaching us the ropes(first time). Plus he's a lot of fun to be with. However, the best thing about the trip was the beauty of standing in the river, surrounded by clear water, mountains and trees. We'll be back!

I spent a half day flyfishing the Spokane River with Marc Fryt from Fly Fish Spokane in early July…read more We left very early in the morning due to the heat that they've had in Washington but that just made for a very peaceful, enjoyable trip. It had been a couple of years since I had been flyfishing. Marc did a great job of reviewing a few techniques as we got started as well as pointing out when to use those techniques. He was really patient as it took a while for things to come back to me. Practice. Practice. Practice. Marc had a variety of flys to work with and was quick to make changes on his set of rods in order to determine what would get a hit. About mid-way through our morning he hit on a great combination of flys. Ended up bringing in two trout and a whitefish. Should have had more as there were more bites but I was just out of practice. What a great experience and guide. Marc enhanced the whole trip with even more information about the river, wildlife, community and more. Highly suggested!

My uncle and I fly fished with Marc Fryt from Fly Fish Spokane for two days in late Sept. 2021. He…read moreis an excellent guide and taught us a lot about the fishery as well as different fishing techniques like Euro nymphing and streamer fishing. Marc's always prepared, very professional and hard working. He went the extra mile to make sure we had an absolutely fantastic time. Look forward to fishing with him again soon!

I had not been fly fishing since 2012. I contacted Silver Bow Fly Shop for a guided trip on the…read moreSpokane River with guide Sean W. We fished on 5-March just prior to season closure. He was an absolutely fantastic guide with a tremendous amount of patience. Though my skills were obviously rusty (to say the least) and he corrected many of the common mistakes one would expect after such a long lapse of time. The shop and all staff that I met were fantastic and I plan on many further trips with SB once my permanent relocation to the area is completed. I would highly recommend Silver Bow to anyone interested in fishing the WA ID area.

Called up for advice, needed information on fishing Rufus Woods Lake on the Columbia River, on the…read moreColville Reservation side. The fly fishing I do is rivers, not lakes, so didn't know what I needed or where to start. I talked with a very nice man named Bo. He was super helpful, explained what I needed to bring, the weight of the rod, the sinking weight of the line & the technique for sinking flies in big lakes. I ask for some flies and he mailed me a very nice box filled with wet flies & some sinking leaders. So.... went fishing & OMG!!!! you would not believe the fish we caught using the flies Bo sent us. Wowza!! If I am ever in Spokane I will make sure to stop by Silver Bow Fly Shop.

Drifted the east fork of the Coeur d'Alene with Justin as a guide. I have fished with Justin in the…read morepast but always in early Sept. when the Salmon were in the river. We knew the fishing mid-summer may be a bit tough with the river low and the sun shining bright. Justin picked us up in Post Falls right on time at 7 AM. His truck was clean and comfortable for the 30 drive to the Fly Shop just outside Wallas, Idaho. We planned ahead and had our license already, so we just needed to make shuttle arrangements for the truck to be at the pullout. Drift boat was clean and well outfitted for fishing. Justin supplied all the equipment and tackle for the day. We launched less than 5 minutes from the Fly shop and started fishing right away. I was in the front and caught 16-19 in. fish all day. My sister-in-law was in the back using the exact equipment and tackle caught one fish at the end of the day to save her trip. Ran into a young moose while we were anchored up and eating lunch. He entered the river and swam in our direction. we moved across river to let him by and he walked up the other side and disappeared into the woods. Unbelievable to see a moose up close in the wild. The river is closed to boats at the I95 because of construction so we had to pull out at the RV park. Justin returned us to the Airbnb at the end of the day and we said our goodbyes. I will return as soon as I can for another adventure.

What an amazing experience! Craig was such a great guide. The float down was so relaxing and…read morebeautiful! It lasted about four hours. We would float for a bit, then stop, and float, then stop. Each time we stopped, we would swim and jump from rocks into the water! We saw tons of fish and some other wildlife. 10/10, a great experience! I have no complaints.
