the letter A, beginning the word Altamontltamont Anglers Fly Fishing Guides like nothing better than "return business", clients happy enough with a guided trip to come back for more. Trippe Matthews first fished with us last year, and when he called to book three days of fishing for his wife Landa and himself, we felt thrice blessed. We'll let Trippe tell you about their visit in his own words...

I can’ begin to tell you how much my wife and I enjoyed our recent fly fishing trip with Teo. It was only my wife’s second fly fishing trip and I wanted her to improve her casting techniques, catch a few fish and most of all enjoy the trip so she would continue to fly fish. Instead she advanced farther than I thought she would with roll casting, fishing with a fly and a dropper, high stick drifting, wading and fishing and this was all because of Teo’s instruction ability and patience. We did not catch a few fish, we caught a LOT of fish, over 180 in three days and several of them were 20 inches plus. My wife refers to Teo as the Fish Whisperer with the magic glasses because he can spot fish no one else can see. We not only had a great time, but my wife wants to know when we are going again. We are planning a fall trip and another trip next spring.
