Here is what some have to say about their experience with Rocky Mountain Outfitters
|
Summit Group
Hi!
Just dropping a note to say we had a blast on the guided
snow mobile tour on Sunday! It will be something I will not soon forget!
One of the guides told us that he was going to upload some video
footage to youtube from our adventure!
Could you please let us know when that is done & how we
can access it?
Thanks!

Day with Jonathan and Kelly
Rocky Mountain Outfitters,
Kelly and I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the guide service
you provided us during our honeymoon. I personally learned so much from talking
to you and listening to what you were saying and watching what you were doing.
The fishing was great and I don’t think I have gone a single day since we
returned home and not talked about the Provo River,
your guide service or just the incredible fishing in general. You have a real
gift and a great personality and being a business man myself, I take notice of
that kind of stuff. I’ve included a few pictures that you can do what ever you
wish with. If you’d like to put them on your website, submit them to Orvis or
just keep them for yourself. I’ll be sure to send some pics throughout the
summer if I hook into any thing real nice. I plan on taking my father to the
Battenkill River for father’s day and I may even get a chance to fish the
mighty Delaware River due to having some work out that way…we’ll have to see
though. I’ve also got my father talked into taking a trip back out to Utah, however, im not
sure how soon.
Thanks again and tight lines,
Jonathan and Kelly Meierdiercks

Walker Group
My name is Dan Walker, and on June 20th two friends and I went on an absolutely awesome fly fishing trip with Ryan as our guide. Having two guide with us made for some exceptional hands on teaching. All three of us would be considered green fly fishers by any standard, but none the less, Ryan had us fishing and catching in minutes. It turned out that the waters were running pretty high and fast on our day of fishing, which I understand would normally reduce fishing successes, however our guides were so well versed that they didn’t let the conditions reduce our catching one bit. Moreover, personally, after being on many non-fly fishing trips in my life, I can say without a doubt that this was one of the top fishing (and yes, even catching) experiences of my life. They were upbeat and supportive through the entire four hours, and never once batted an eye at having to re-hook our lines after losing them (and we lost many of them).
Thanks again. We will definitely be back.
Best,
Dan Walker Adam Heffernan Chan Walker

The Kokes
Hello: My name is David Koke and I fished with my son David Koke III and the Chris Donner party last Friday June 22nd. Our guides were Mark Stevenson and Doug Acksolson (spelling?) first of all let me tell you those were two of the very best guides I have ever fished or hunted with in my entire life, bar none! Both of them were so knowledgeable and patient --- it was a tremendous experience for the two boys (10 and 9 years old) and equally for the adults too. Please extend my best regards to both of them again

Three very happy fisherman
First, a word about Joe Mitchell: he is a terrific person who happens to also be a great guide! It was a real pleasure to spend some time with him last Friday and Saturday. I want to thank him for handling the 3 of us on Friday afternoon, and for handling the difficult task of running back and forth among us – putting on new nymph rigs every time we broke them off on trees or in the water – not easy to keep 3 fishermen happy, but he sure did it. I also am appreciative of his gentle explanations to my wife Saturday, who is unfamiliar with trout and their habitat (she’s basically a blue gill fisher from the Mid West). His easy way was most reassuring to her. I was just sorry that I couldn’t stay out longer, even after the green drake hatch was over, but the heat had gotten to my wife, and we just needed to leave the water early.

Biggest Fish of the Year
With an open day in Salt Lake City on my schedule, I knew I needed to head out fishing. Since I always trust Orvis to provide quality guides, it was an easy choice to book Rocky Mountain Outfitters for a day on the Provo River.
Doug (last name here) met me at my hotel in SLC, and we were fishing in 45 minutes. I soon hooked into what I thought was a decent fish, but had no idea what was on the end of my line for about 10 minutes. Once we got a glimpse of this giant brown, we knew our work was cut out for us, and our net was useless. Doug was a great team mate and helped me land the trout of a lifetime. Twenty six inches and approximately 6 pounds. Thanks for a day to remember.

The Hansen Family
I had to write to let you know of the fantastic staff members that you employ at the Soldier Hollow Horseback Riding Stables. My dad treated his kids and our families to a "dream weekend" with once in a lifetime activities. We did the Pioneer Picnic with Ryan and his "sweetheart", then a one hour horseback riding excursion with Ryan and "80". I know that isn't her real name, it is just how she told us to remember it and I am not sure how she spells it!!!
Anyway, they were so wonderful, kind and accommodating. My young son was first in line behind "80" on the trail and she made sure he was comfortable and enjoyed himself as he tried something new. My daughter was too afraid to ride after getting into the saddle, so she stayed behind. But "80" took her for a "walking" ride around the property and made her very happy. Ryan was a super guide, very hospitable and full of information for us. We really enjoyed his tour and authentic appearance and knowledge.
I can't say enough about what a great time we had--and it wouldn't have been so without your super employees!

Fly Fishing Success Story
Rocky Mountain Outfitters listened to my short-notice fly fishing request adn arranged for me to meet guide John Patching. After 15 minutes of professional instruction and demonstration techniques, I was up to my waist in 44 degree water...catching my limit and many more released....four hours of joy and excitement! Thanks!

Honeymooners
My fiance' and I have been hiking for a while, so when we planned our honeymoon we wanted to try something different that would still allow us to enjoy the outdoors. We booked one half day fly fishing trip with Rocky Mountain Outfitters and left the rest of our days open for hiking. However, we were hooked instantly (no pun intended). Our guide, John Patching, was better than we could have hoped for. Not only was he an expert on fly fishing, but it was just like the proverbial fishing trip with your favorite grandfather. He was patient while we were learning, told stories of his own experiences and taught us all he could in the time we had. Just being in the Provo River in the middle of the mountains and interacting with nature is an experience all on its own. When we actually did catch fish the excitement was like no other; we didn't realize that "landing" a fish would be so exhilarating. We enjoyed our half day trip so much that when we returned to the hotel we immediately booked a second trip and started looking into fly fishing opportunities back in our home state of Connecticut. Don't skip the fly fishing!

The fisherman from Mars
Hey Joe,
Thanks for taking care of my equipment shipment, everything worked out really great. Enclosed is a CD with pictures from my trip in August with Jeremy and last week with Scott. Both guides were excellent: well prepared, knowledgeable about the river, patient, and helpful.
On the August trip, I caught 19 of the nicest browns and rainbows. The fishing was excellent from the first cast, 12" brown to the last cast of the day, 18" rainbow. That day was the best day I have had in years for the size and steady fishing. My compliments.
On the April trip (half day) the fishing was a bit more spotty, but the size and fight of the fish was super. Scott got me into some great water with active feeding fish. Great trips. Enjoy the pictures. I'll bet you don't get many fishermen from Mars!

Fishing Hot Toes Cold
Enjoyed a great day Saturday. Fishing was action packed but the weather a little cold it made some great memories for my wife and I. Our toes have their feeling back so all is well. I can't wait to comeback to Utah for some great fishing and even better service. You guys are the best we've been with. Rocky Mountain Outfitters has our confidence and business for years to come. You all run a first class guide service.
Best of fishing this summer.

Awesome April Day
Justed wanted to email and say thanks for an awesome trip. We couldn't believe it could be so fun in Utah during April. We came out to go skiing and ended up snowmobiling, horseback riding, and fly fishing. Mike thinks he died and went to heaven. Your guides were all wonderful fun people. They took great care of us and made us feel like we were part of the family. Thank you so much we will be visiting your place many more times. Say hi to Amber, John, and John. Here is a picture of my first rainbow trout.

Thanks for the great horse ride. Your horses took such great care of us. Sadi wants to find a pretty horse like Daisy and become a cowgirl like Krit. She prays every night that Daisy will be ok. Hope you all have a wonderful summer!

Our Florida Friends
Just wanted to say thank you for the most enjoyable day of our vacation. We never expected snowmobiling would be so much fun. John took such good care of us. The photos you gave us will never go unforgotten. We have them as screen savers on our home computer. We will be back again, pencil us in for January. I think Bob has decided we will start doing a snowmobile vacation and throw in a day of skiing. Thank you so much!!

Fly Fishing
To Rocky Mountain Outfitters
Enclosed are pictures from a spectacular day of fly fishing on the Provo River. The views were great and the fishing even better. After my novice friend Bob caught 7 fish in one morning (notice the smile on his face), he actually thought fly fishing was easy. I didn't tell him its all in having the right guides. Thanks for everything, we will see you again next year. All the best, Dan
