“I have been fly fishing for 25 years at locations all over the world. John Wilcox is absolutely the best guide I have ever fished with. He is hard-working, knows every river he fishes like the back of his hand, is super-fishy, and just plain fun to fish with. When I finish a trip with John, I immediately start anticipating the next trip.”
