Hey John! 
I really had some incredible days on the Missoula area rivers with you last year. Between my daughter, April, my son-in-law, Mike, and me, we each caught the largest Brown trout of our lives. That 24 inch Brown that Mike caught was spectacular! April and I both caught 22 inchers. I've fished with many guides in the Missoula area over the last 12 years, but I've never had as consistently good experiences with other guides as with you, John. To put it straight out there, you work your ass off for your clients and the results are great fishing experiences. Thanks for everything and I'll be booking some trips soon!

I stepped off a plane 10 years ago, having never held a fly rod, not knowing what to expect. Since then I have been back 25 plus times with my father, brother, friends and now the most finatical fisher in my group my wife. To say you exceed our expectations each and everytime would be an understatement. Since getting the bug, I have traveled to other areas in search of new rivers and comporable experiences, only to be disappointed. You and your guides provide an experience which has yet to be duplicated and that is why I will continue to bring my friends and family to Missoula.

The floats we did last September were fantastic!  Not only did you put us onto big fish, but you put us on a lot of them, which made for a couple of awesome days of fishing. In addition, the tips and suggestions you gave me, a relative amateur fly fisherman, couldn’t have been more helpful.  I don’t think there is another guide in the Bitterroot Valley that knows that river as well as you do, and  I can’t wait to come back later this year to do it again!

I’ve fished with John for six or seven years now.  He’s taught me a ton about fishing, casting and flies.  John’s a blast to be around, but deadly serious starting when he says  “HIT IT” and ending when the fish is in the net.  My buddies and I only get one chance a year to do it right, and John and his guides always make it worthwhile. And he’s a Red Sox fan too!

“As a local, over the last five years I’ve had the opportunity to be guided several times a year by Missoula ’s best guide- John Gould. After my first trip with John, I knew he was my guide and I haven’t fished with anyone else. I have learned so much from John as he is always generous with his knowledge and instruction. He knows where the big ones are if that’s your game and he will work very hard to allow you an opportunity to net several on a float. I have fished with guides all over the country and have never had one so willing to stay on the river until the client is well satisfied and has had a super day. Bring plenty of film or a large chip, because you will have great fish to document.
