Dear Greg,
I received the two discs. You did a magnificent job on these and we really appreciate all you did for us relative to our fly fishing trip. We all had a great time thanks in no small part to you and George. You guys were custom made for our group. I think you have found your calling and it shows. If we can make it back for more fly fishing trips, and I'm betting we will, you will be our guide(s). Best wishes for much success and enjoyment in all you do.

I've been fishing with guides for the last 20 years in a half-dozen states, and after one day with Greg, I'd put him at the top of the list.
I especially admired the way he always had a rod ready for me to use, while he was re-rigging the rod I'd just been using. No other guide I've used has been smart enough to figure that one out. He spared no effort to find fish and guide me to the best presentation. And by the way, I caught over 30 trout--most of them on a fly he invented and ties for the Little Red River. Even the home-cooked hot lunch was outstanding.
Hey Greg...
Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you again for the great fishing experience and time of comaraderie and fellowshiip on the river. That Saturday may have been the best fly fishing day of my life as far as results and learning...what a day. Here's wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Your friend,

Greg, I wanted to say thanks for the pictures and give you an update on my fishing Thurs and Fri.
Thursday I fished at the dam. I started with the dropper rig and didn't do much good. I noticed the fish were rising and tied
on the crackleback that you gave me. I started catching fish with it. This was up river from the narrow section (guard house). Caught 7 there. I then went further up toward the dam where it is shallow. Fish were rising there also and was catching fish until the horn blew at 1. Total of 9 for the morning.
Friday I started at the dam in hopes of seeing some rising fish again. No luck. The river was getting crowded and I decided to go
to the bridge and fish. I started with the single midge and was not having any luck. I fished down stream where the water got deeper and decided to rig up the dropper with sow bug on top and midge on bottom, like we fished on Wed. I immediately started catching fish. Caught 3 in one run and thought I was done catching fish for the day. As I was on the way back upstream, I decided to try another run where guys were fishing earlier. Caught 8 there in about 45 min. I had to get back to the camper to get ready to head home or I would have stayed longer. Both days started slow but ended up being successful.
I was great being able to fish so much in one week. Our trip on Wed definitely boosted my confidence on Thurs and Fri. I was able to use the knots you showed me and using the different indicator is much better than the foam that won't move. I went to the fly shop and got some more indicators and some soft weight. Small things can make a big difference.
Once again, thanks for the trip and all the tips and info. You helped make it a great week of fishing for me. I hope to see you on the river or at the fly shop on one of my return trips.

Greg,
Thanks again for an excellent time on the river. Shanna and I cant wait to return and see if we cant hook "the big one" again! After catching those fish, she is definitely hooked on flyfishing, and I am blessed to have such a wonderful fishing partner!
A favor please: keep your eyes open for a lot on the river, either FSBO or by a Realtor. We loved it enough to consider purchasing a river-front lot so that we can one day do as you have done, retire there.
Hope your Christmas season is a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous!
