  • Greg is delightful— so warm, welcoming and approachable. For background my 9 year old has gotten into flyfishing in the last year and Greg was an awesome guide and instructor to him on only his third “real river” day adventure— providing patient and engaging feedback on his casting (he’s been practicing weekly for the last 6 months or so at the amazing Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club) great tips about trout fishing specifically and the natural world in general— all delivered in an age appropriate, easygoing manner. Thanks so much Greg— we can’t wait to catch up with you again this summer or fall!

  • This was one of the best fishing experiences of my life and I cover fishing for a living. Incredible scenery, crystal clear waters, a plentiful fishery and a great guide who takes the time to teach you and make complicated techniques simple to understand and become adept at. Greg is top shelf on knowledge, experience and making the day fun.

  • Wonderful experience with Greg. He was so knowledgeable and we actually caught some fish! We were beginners and he led us through the whole process and showed us a wonderful day in Yosemite. He's so personable and patient and made our whole experience fantastic. Thank you Greg! We will be back!

  • What an awesome day! Greg was amazing! After many years of thinking about it, I finally pulled the trigger on a guided fishing day. I was also new to fly fishing, Greg was a great teacher, very patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He was provided an amazing experience. I highly recommend him!

  • Greg took my dad and I on a full day trip to the south fork of the Tuolumne river in Yosemite and it was just a banner day. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and just fun to be around. He was helpful in providing guidance without being overbearing. My dad recently had a knee replacement and he was able to put us in an extremely accessible place to do some wet wading. A perfect day and I would recommend Greg to anyone from a beginner to an experienced fisherman.

  • Greg was an amazing guide that went above and beyond during our fly fishing excursion. Not only did he provide all equipment, but he also came with an arsenal of snacks and kept us fishing until the sun went down. Instead of 6 hours we were out with him for nearly 12!!! Not only that, we received history lessons, tips, tricks, and stories from a previous park ranger, and awesome company. After the day was over we even went out for drinks. I highly recommend Greg as a fly fishing guide in the Yosemite area.

  • I am an experienced fly angler. I have fished with over two to three hundred professional guides in my 45 years as a fly fisher . I don’t think anyone has as much enthusiasm and energy as Greg. He was a joy to fish with due to his positive attitude. Each time he was excited to show me his special spot on the water that he has been fishing for many years. Yes, you can fish locations with bigger fish or greater numbers, but I challenge you to find a more beautiful spot than Yosemite National Park. Having Greg as our guide for two days not only put us on the fish, he explained the history, geography and even identification of of the plant life (I especially appreciated his pointing out the poison oak).

  • Hired Gregory to guide my 2 boys and myself for a half day of fly fishing. He took his time to teach my boys the basics and got them hooked on the sport. He earned an A+. Thank you so much.

  • Greg is one of the best guides I have had the opportunity to fish with. I am moderately experienced and been out with at least 10 guides in the last 5 years. Greg is my favorite, he balances instruction with positivity and will provide as much or as little coaching as you like. I have been out with him 2 times, one time with my wife. The second time on a back country trip to the high alpine lakes. Both were wonderful experiences and I can’t recommend Greg more highly! Regardless of what you are looking for or experience…Greg will take great care of you and make sure you have a wonderful time.

  • These are the guys to go with....they know the area and what is hitting where. We had Greg today and my wife and daughter have never done fly fishing.....he had spent the time with them and was able to get both of them their first fish on a fly!!! My son and I were on fish all day and just had the best time. Thank you Greg!!! This was a day to remember!!!

  • Could not have asked for a better experience. My wife and I booked a full day trip with Greg and had an amazing time. He was super thoughtful and flexible leading up to the trip and make great recommendations along the way. Even though we had absolutely zero experience Greg had us catching fish within the first hour. As a previous Yosemite Ranger he had a ton of great history and stories about the park the the 8 hours just absolutely flew by. He knew exactly where to take us, we felt confident the whole time and was able to enjoy the beautiful area while learning a fun new sport. 11/10 would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun day in Yosemite.

  • My wife and I just got back from Yosemite and the full-day trip with David and Greg was definitely a highlight! The guys were helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had fun, caught fish and felt like we were fishing with old friends. Neither of us are experienced but we learned a ton and David and Greg were extremely patient and helpful. I would definitely recommend this for others looking to see a different side of the park and mix in some different activities around Yosemite.
