“I have been using Chase for over a decade, enjoying his expertise 20+ days a year with him on the Bitterroot, Clark Fork, Blackfoot, Rock Creek and even the Big Mo. I have been fortunate to fish with many Montana guides and now I only fish with Chase. He is a perfect combination of a dedicated, competitive guide, always trying to put me on the BIG fish, but also has the patience and personality to take any level of angler out for a great trip. Chase is the best! I will always choose him for my personal quests and also for all my friends and family."
