Client reviews for White River fly fishing service FLICO

"Jarrod is without a doubt one of the finest fishing guides I've fished with in the entire country. I've fished a bunch and his constant willingness to tinker and try new things on the river is what sets him apart. Not only will he present you with opportunities at giant fish, you will have a blast doing it."

"You're the man, Jarrod. Another killer trip in the books. You really are tremendous at what you do. You have entertained my 9yr old son for 2 days, helped teach a friend of mine whom had never attempted fly fishing before and even taught me a few things along the way. I always appreciate the cleanliness of your boat and your top qualtiy gear. There's not another guide on the river I'd rather fish with. Thanks again for everything!

"Couldn't be happier with the experience. Relaxed but professional, courteous, compassionate, and highly competent, this guy finds the fish and will help you catch them while keeping the banter positive, informational, and entertaining. He's a person of good character, and it shows in his fishing."

"This will be the third trip we've fished with Jarrod, and he never disappoints. Some guides just go through the motions. This boy works. We rarely do full day trips anymore, but for 4-6 hours, Jarrod is all business."
