"Came as a beginner and left HOOKED. my friend and I spent a half day with GP (aka king of the Bitterroot Valley) and lucked out on both fish and weather. GP made our whole girls trip… he was patient, kind and a great teacher while also being fun and informative. Overall Lazy Bear was amazing and communicative. Couldn’t recommend more! Be back in the spring."

"Best weekend of my life!!! GP who’s the head guide coached me up well had easy to follow directions and kept me on and really showed me how to fish! The guy had me on fish almost every cast, and he’s so strategic he would stop and go “hold up let’s try this” and I kid you not next cast would be a fatty almost every single time! They really know their stuff over here at Lazy Bear and they are a 10/10, home run 450 dead center every time. Genuinely THE most fun and exhilarating two days of fishing I have EVER experienced. I really don’t put that lightly and can’t stress it enough these guys are really stinking GOOD!!!"

"My father in law and I did an all day session with GP and his pup lady. It was my first time fly fishing and GP was super knowledgeable and helpful. We caught a ton of fish and had a blast. Highly recommend Lazy Bear Outfitters!"
