I booked a half-day fishing trip with John and was not disappointed.
He was very knowledgeable and took me right to some great fishing.
I was able to catch rainbow and brown trout, and smallmouth and Kentucky bass.
I've been fishing for a long time, and this is the best fishing that I've seen.
Thanks John! I'll definitely be back on our next trip to Branson.

I took my father and brother-in-law fishing with John hoping for all of us to catch our first trout. John is top notch. Not only did he consistently put large numbers of fish in the boat all day despite adverse conditions, my dad caught a wall-hanger and we all caught trout close to 20". John handled everything and was a true joy to talk with for the day. If you're looking for a guide look no further! Thanks John! We'll be seeing you again soon!

Thank you, John, for the best trout fishing experience ever! 3 of our 4 fished. Nancy, a high school student from China who lives with us, had never fished before and had an absolutely amazing first fishing experience! We kept enough for 2 delicious meals AND released twice as many more.

Had a great time fishing with John. We caught a lot of fish and enjoyed both John's company and knowledge. It took John little time to find and hook fish, very little time with no action.
