"All I could have hoped for and more..." 

"I want to thank you so much for a FABULOUS day!!!  We sure had alot of fun.  My husband really did have a good time too...I think he was really happy that I was catching so many (and proud). You are a great guide, and I will recommend you."
Sue Wilkerson -Oklahoma

"I've been with several guides on these rivers"
"I've been fishing on the Norfork and White for ten years, and  I've been out with several guides with mixed success.  Gabe Cross is consistently the best guide that I've been with over the years.  He is very knowledgeable, attentive,and accommodating.  Gabe can adapt to the water conditions,whether its wading or from the boat.  I've caught most of my best fish with Gabe.  The last trip I caught the "Grand Slam"(Rainbow, Brown, Brook, Cutthroat) in one day. I highly recommend Gabe for an instructive and productive fly fishing trip."
Derek Howell -Memphis, TN

 

"It will be hard not to come back soon" 

"I checked the website and saw the picture of the trout I caught!!! Thanks again for the really quality fly fishing experience you gave my son and I.  I didn't want it to end."

Bob Lansdowne -Hutchinson, KS

"Fat rainbows and a BIG cutthroat" 

"I would like to make a mount of that cutthroat. What a trout!!!  And that rainbow wasn't too shabby either."

Mick Mickmillan

"This experience is well worth the time"

"I sure enjoyed those cold looks we were getting from the other boats last time and especially the guy who practically ran us down trying to get closer to the fish. I'm more than willing to make the five hour round trip to fish with you...the service is second-to-none.  Next time down there I'll need your help more than ever if the fishing is with dry flies as I haven't done much of that yet."

"Phil" Andrews -Bolivar, Mo  

 

"We were simply on fish more than anyone else"
"I've been fortunate enough to fish the White and North Fork Rivers the last three years.  I've used various guides, but clearly, Gabe is the best.  Regardless of the weather or water releases, Gabe has consistently put me on fish...BIG FISH. Equally important, Gabe is the best boat handler on the river. You can't catch fish when your fly is out of the water or presenting an unnatural drift. Gabe's knowledge of the river and boat handling skills consistently put me in a position to make the best cast."
 
Rob Kissel -Atlanta, GA

"Gabe opened up my eyes to new types of productive water"

"I really enjoyed spending some time on the Norfork with Gabe last summer ('04). He is an excellent guide with intimate knowledge of the rivers...Gabe knew where to be on different flows and kept me on fish all day.  For each different type of water, Gabe knew exactly how to rig.  I highly recommend Gabe as a guide."
