I’ve taken many guided fishing tours and Lafe Petersen and Deep Canyon Outfitters outshined them all. Lafe was so knowledgeable and helped us greatly with our technique. Plus he’s very knowledgeable about all of wildlife and the geology. The equipment was really clean and well cared for as well. And the lunch was created by a professional caterer. Just an overall lovely day on the water. Thank you Lafe and Deep Canyon Outfitters!

My son and I had a very enjoyable day wading/fishing the Crooked River with our DCO guide, Harry. Harry was very detailed and patient from our first interaction, and did a super job putting us on the fish. We caught numerous redband rainbows and a few whitefish, and missed 5-10x the fish we released. Amazing action for an early spring outing and we wouldn't hesitate to go out with Harry & DCO again. Highly recommended!
