My guide, Larry, was great as usual. He found us clear water after a heavy rain and we caught fish. A great day to be in a river.
In the middle of historic Lanesboro, the shop has an array of quality merch, people ready to serve, and booking a guided trip was a snap.
My buddy and had a 4 day trip in the area. We stopped by the shop to support them by buying some sweet goods.
Dave was incredibly knowledgeable and eager to share his experience with me - a newbie who wandered in off the street.
Steve and Billy the dog! Steve and Billy showed us a great time on our full-day float on the Root River. Billy came with us the whole day.
Lance and Steve are awesome! Both are very knowledgeable and passionate about fly fishing and helping others get out to enjoy the sport.
Had Larry for a guide for 1 and1/2 days. It was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, friendly and very skilled. The fishing was exceptional w very many quality browns.
The Root River guides are down to earth, extremely nice individuals. We had four guides who took a group consisting of grandpa, dad, and 4 boys from 8 years to 14 years.
My favorite fly shop in the midwest. They are always helpful when you're unsure of what to use. Great advice for beginners.
Bret was an excellent guide. It was my dad’s first time fly fishing and we caught many fish and had a great day!
