I just wanted to let you know how much Ken (my son) and I enjoyed our guided trip experience with Matt Hoff. It was our first trip to the Bozeman area. The whole experience with Matt was rated as one of the best trips that I have ever taken with a fly fishing guide.
Matt was always prompt, knowledgeable, and hospitable. We were always treated respectfully, most professionally, yet we felt like we were brothers. Though there were instances of line tangles, lost flies, and missed strikes, we were never criticized or treated in an condescending way. He had a way of making us try our best at all times, but never was there a negative comment made. There were several instances of some impending dangerous weather and he was always concerned for our personal safety. His concern was for us and making sure that we had the best experience that we could have under the prevailing conditions. He never mishandled any fish and was always concerned for a safe release. Lunches were great and equipment worked well. In short, Ken and I had a “blast”! The time went by way too quickly.
We will certainly keep your outfit and Matt guiding in mind for any future trips to Bozeman.
Again, thanks for the great experience.
Our best regards always,
Gary Cooper
