Nick CristinzianoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest trip, cannot recommend enough!
Full day Madison River on August 2, 2026 • 2 adultsChris Phillips was our guide and he was the coolest dude. Not only was he sociable, he went out of hus way to help us with techinique as well as understanding everything from the knots he ties to the bugs lifecycle that we were mimicking. He put us on fish from the first hour on the water straight until the end. We landed 10 fish in the net, and caught several more that just got away from us before netting (it happens). I personally caught one 14 inch brown trout, 3 colorado white fish all roughly twelve inches, and two rainbows with one being about 17 inches! My brother in law caught three rainbows, one white fish, and had another monster rainbow on the hook that unfortunately came off before we could net. What an awesome day. Lunch was included and it was tasty. Id do this trip every day if I could! Thanks for coordinating, Mike, and thanks a million for a perfect day Chris P! I’ll be coming back one day, and I’ll be asking to go out with Chris again 1000%!
