Super friendly crew and a gorgeous shop with plenty of gear and expert merchandising. Nice, clean, organized, but not sparse. It's rare to find a fly shop where things are where I expect them to be, but they managed to pull it off. I'll be back, and next time it'll be to book a trip. Thanks for the local fly selection guys.

This is a good read for anyone considering a guided fishing trip with Dream on the Fly. So, yes, no experience. I felt like the Karate Kid with his teaching technique. Presentation, mending, drifting, pointing the rod tip at the indicator, watching the indicator, casting and feeling the weight for whipping. It is pretty complicated, but his technique really helped me grasp the process and I felt pretty confident after an hour or so. I learned the hard way once or twice about respecting the power of these river trout. They are good sized and put up enough fight to break a line pretty easily. LET THEM RUN WHEN THEY FIGHT! Don't force them in too fast. Take your time, but keep your rod up and line tension tight. The scenery at The Owyhee River is gorgeous. In all, you will learn a lot with them about the river, fly fishing, and Idaho if you are a traveler. Great experience. We had some great catches and I learned so much. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great fishing trip!

Randy, an analytical chemist and very experienced outdoorsman, was outstanding as a guide, guiding the raft with precision while entertaining with a vast knowledge of the river and jokes as bad as mine. BROO provides everything except your bathing suit, just push the easy button and go. Trips are tailored to the needs of the guests, so just call. 5 stars, from a guy who rarely gives anything 5 stars.

Everyone who helped was very friendly and knowledgeable giving us the information needed to make the right decision. Prices were very reasonable too. What sets them apart is their after sales support. Months after our original purchases, we came back today needing some help on how to secure the kayak to the roof of our car. Jake was especially helpful showing me how to properly tie it down. Kudos to the entire Idaho River Sports team!

There's a nice sandy beach where you can set up your things. If you need it there are shaded and unshaded picnic tables on the pavement and bike racks to lock up your bikes nearby. Lots of ducks and geese so watch for poop bombs but not that bad. Overall a clean park. We noticed scuba divers, fishermen, magnet fishers, kayakers, and lots of paddle boards. The water is pretty clear and clean and is on the cooler side. There are rentals available if you want to pick up a paddle board or bring your own. On the hot summer weekends, get there before 11am because there is little to no parking after noon.

The water was moving pretty good, if I had to guess somewhere around 1.75 to 2.5 mph, but I was still able to get a workout and my best Mile split time was returning in the current, I took a lot of pictures along the way. I paddle all over the country, and in many other countries, I like to record my Paddle, especially first time, and transfer it from my Garmin watch to the relive app. This app creates a video of the trail and any pictures taken along the way or Geos stamped on the trail while you watch the video. It's really amazing. This park was clean, self service for Park entry if the booth is closed. Nice restrooms. Apple parking and it was mowed later in the week so it really looked nice.

Absolutely horrible experience! We were there celebrating my son's birthday with his friends…read more Unfortunately while my son was casting, the rod we had rented from them simply snapped. He wasn't fooling around, mishandling the equipment, or doing anything outside of normal fishing... it just broke. The woman immediately became confrontational and angry with my son, accusing him of abusing the rod and telling him he would have to pay for it. We calmly tried to explain that he had done nothing negligent and that we didn't feel it was reasonable to be charged for equipment that broke during normal use. She then stormed off and got her husband, who came back and was immediately hostile and extremely disrespectful. He told us to pack up our belongings, leave, and that we were banned for life. The entire reaction was completely blown out of proportion and absolutely uncalled for. We came there to celebrate my son's birthday and make some fun memories with him and his friends. Instead we left embarrassed, upset, and completely shocked by the way we were treated. What should have been a fun birthday celebration turned into an incredibly disappointing one. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this business to anyone looking for a welcoming, family-friendly place to fish.
