"Roberts knows the area waters with the sort of familiarity that only comes with a lifetime of angling, and he has the sort of laid back personality that works equally well for putting novices at ease or offering tips to seasoned veterans. He offers visiting anglers an impressive variety of fly fishing venues’"

Jim Casada - Former President-Outdoor Writers Association of America OWAA

John Roberts - FlyFishing Guide
''We wade into the stream. Roberts reminds me that I am a predator, and to be as stealthy and natural as I can. I cast my line where the fast water meets the slow water, over by the rocks, under the shade of a tree...places Roberts tells me trout might be lurking.''
