My grandson and I went on a Salt River float from 4-8PM. It was a great experience! Darren is and excellent host, and was a wonderful instructor for my grandson who had never fly fished before. Darren is a pro who knows how to share his knowledge — patient, clear, and the kind of teacher whose enthusiasm for the sport is contagious. My grandson is “hooked” . . . pun intended. We saw numerous wildlife including an eagle, a blue heron and an owl. We also got 8, yes 8!, fish in the boat!

We had a great time with Darin out on the river. It was our first time fly fishing and we both caught fish. It was an enjoyable trip down the Salt River, looking forward to coming back again!

We fished with Capt. Darin Day on a day that the weather forecast was “iffy” at best. It was early season so water clarity was not the best. It turned out to be one of the best catching days ever. We caught upward of 25 Cuttroat trout and lost equally as many. Several 20” and a 23” were caught and released. Capt. Day put us on the fish. He is a great guide and a fun person to fish with.
