Dave D'Beaupre has guided me on a 25 plus trout day, but I'm most impressed with was how he guided my girlfriend and her 7 year old son on a... read more Walk and Wade. As a local, he had taken his own children to some great "beginner holes" and within 5 minutes of wading our young boy hooked his first fish on a fly! the subsequent areas were easily accessible and castable. Dave's patience and enthusiasm makes him always a pleasure to fish with.

  Spent a day with David on the Owens recently. Have fished with many guides over the years and can say David is outstanding. Great manner, interesting and unique input... read more for improving our fishing techniques and extensive familiarity with the Owens territory. And we caught a lot of fish! Looking forward to future trips with David.

  My buddies and I decided to make a weekends trip up to the Owens from the Riverside area. It was our first time out to this River. We went out... read more Saturday and the bite was slow for us, we pulled out a total of 5 Browns and hooked into a few others. So we decided to call the fly shop and book a guided trip for the next morning! We were able to get on the water with Steve, funniest and nicest guide I have been with. He will sit there 1 on 1 and show you how to cast and coach you as you make the drifts into the river. He's positive on every cast and luckily was patient when my friend would over cast into the trees we pulled in a total of 20+ Brown trout with him! It's amazing how he knew how to read the water perfectly and was able to put us on fish! We will be back again and hopefully get to hang out with Steve again! Check below for some pictures from the trip! Thank you again Steve!

  My wife and I fished with David today for the second time. David is aa great guy and excellent guide. He provides instruction and encouragement to his clients. I wanted... read more for him to show me a few rigs I was not familiar with and he was more than happy to do so. We have fished with several other guides in other areas and David is still at the top of our list. The price was very reasonable for our 1/2 day trip compared to other trips we have taken. I would recommend David to anyone interested in developing there fly fishing skills.
