Reel Good Fishing w/ John was a top notch experience. I took my Dad over to experience Fly Fishing for Smallmouth on the Saline River in Benton, AR and we are still talking about the trip days after. John truly knows the river and made the experience one to remember beyond just catching fish. He was easy to interact with, incredible with helping us get comfortable with the equipment. From beautiful river landscape, mints in your pocket, to taking a moment here and there to just look up and enjoy where you are and what your doing.. You can’t go wrong with this guide service! We will absolutely be back. Thanks John for an awesome memory with my Dad.

Had the pleasure of fishing with John this past December during an Arkansas Fly Fishers group outing. I’m a newbie to fly fishing and John was the consummate professional, considering my lack of skills. We caught several fish and I definitely learned a lot from him. I will definitely be using his guiding services again in the future. Engage his guiding skills, you won’t be disappointed!

Watching Jackson learn to fly fish with John was unreal. He doesn’t just guide—he teaches with patience, passion, and a true love for the sport. If you’ve been thinking about booking a fly‑fishing trip, this is your sign. John is the guide you want on the water.

Fantastic Trip! John put us on fish, shared pro tips to help us catch more and was an absolute blast to spend a couple days with! We’re headed back this year to do it all again. Can’t wait!!!!
