Better than great, it was a fantastic day. What a great trip you guys run. Although it was uber crowded on the river, we had a blast. Although we missed Zach and Erica, Matt Weber is a great guide. I hope he gets a chance to guide Pine Creek and the Numbers because he knows his stuff. Looking forward to Pine Creek and the Numbers and Gore later on this summer. Of course we will only use AVA . You guys rock.— Mark P, Castle Rock, CO
