I have had the distinct pleasure of fishing with First Cast Outfitters on the Missouri and in some of the more unique places that they offer trips. Across the board, whether fly fishing for trout, carp, or pike, it has been an experience unrivaled by any other. Captain Jeff Johnson is one of those unique guides whose passion for the fly fishing sport is infectious, and he is always willing to go above and beyond to help make sure a client's trip is not only successful, but enjoyable as well. Communication before and during a trip is outstanding and you will not be left wondering what to expect. Being fairly new to the sport, I have found the guides that work with First Cast Outfitters to be knowledgeable, professional, and very patient. I will continue fishing with them whenever I get the chance.
