From the reviews, customers really like this store and I did also. A comment to the owner and manager: We spent $400+, but it was obvious that a few staff members were watching us as if we were going to steel something. Never did they approach us to ask if we needed something (to maybe feel the situation out). It made us feel uncomfortable as customers. It was obvious and not an observation or perception error on our part. I even approached one staff member and asked if I could take a few pictures (not of customers) for a Google review and got a strange look and pause, before they said, I guess. I would recommend to the staff to kindly engage a customer, if you are suspicious; that usually helps clarify any concerns. Other than some uptight staff, we enjoyed this store.

I booked a half day guided fly fishing experience for me and my dad. I had never done it before and…read moremy dad had not done it in many many years. Cameron was our guide and the entire experience - from booking - through the end of the experience was phenomenal! They are patient, kind, encouraging, knowledgeable, personal, and accommodation people. Cameron was definitely born for this job and I cannot thank him enough for providing such an amazing intro to fly fishing. We had a blast and both caught fish despite some really crummy weather! His spirits and enthusiasm kept us going and feeling excited the whole time!

He said "yeah, purple and black have been doing really good lately".

I'll be back for more flies advise soon!

Our guides (Allyson, Kate, Lee, and David) we're super knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly, always kept us all safe.

Definitely recommend booking a trip with RMOC!

We had our own raft, and while helmets are indeed optional, they say this is because they have never once had a head injury in 30 plus years of business. Their guides are paid better here than most other companies and they only have to go out on one trip a day, unlike most of the larger rafting companies. I for one prefer a well paid, energetic, and alert guide.

Everyone there genuinely loves what they are doing, and it shows! They were interested in not only you, but how your experience was. There customer service was exceptional (which can be hard to come by especially in larger rafting outfits). Our guide Curt and his buddy Ryan made the trip so fun, so exciting and informative. Curt was able to point out great points of interest along the river, talk about the water levels and how that affects the rapids - and the TWO ADDITIONAL RAPIDS they take you on are an absolute must! Other companies in town don't do that. If you want to experience AWESOME RAPIDS, support a LOCAL business with people who genuinely LOVE whitewater rafting - this is absolutely the place to go!

Frankly I was embarrassed to bring the bike in, but the mechanic (I'm sorry I forgot your name,2/26 around 10 am) was SO kind and didn't make me feel like an idiot, actually showed me what was going on. Then gave me some things to watch out for and advised some service I should ask my LBS to do. Cleaned up my bike, put some lube on the chain and when I asked what I owe him he told me to have a great day and ride safe. You don't get service like this often especially from a bike shop when margins are tight. Thank you, sir!
