Fly Fishing Guide Recommendations

[gallion_t]

One of my good buddies is getting married at the end of the month and for his wedding present a couple of us want to get him a guided fly fishing trip. We're leaning towards a trip down the yakima, but open to other suggestions.

Does anyone have a fly fishing guide they would suggest?

I’ve never gone but a dream of mine is Stehekin river.

Remote, beautiful, good fish.

I've done guided trips with both the Evening Hatch and Red's on the Yakima - enjoyed both of them very much.

I know I stopped in at the fly shop(Reds) for the first time this last week.   I was A) surprised how busy it was, and B) impressed with the selection of gear.

Tagging, this would be a fun trip in the future.

Done this trip a few times, I recommend staying a night or two at canyon river ranch. Nice rooms, good restaurant, pool. Quiet and peaceful. Fishing trip is great, always catch a few BIG trout. The guides I have met have all been good hardworking guys. If your open to other options, jetboat trip on the snake for oversized sturgeon is the best “fishing” trip I’ve been on.

Thanks everyone. I've heard good things about Reds so that's probably the front runner. Though the oversized surgeon sounds like a blast the guy getting married is a big time fly fisher so we want to stick with that.

There are also pay to fish lakes with some large trophy fish.  Those are probably coming to an end for spring, but will start getting hot again in September.   Last time I checked they were about 200ish for the day.  Names have no doubt changed, but I think Sun mountain is doing Moccasin, not sure who has Isaacs, or the one in Eburg.  Im not sure if Reds has that one or even if its still an option.  Bridgestone I think is what it was called or something like that.

Steve, the owner , is a very competent guide. Done a number of steelhead trips with him.

 The guides at Reds have a good reputation

I would look at fishing  the Naches too
