Customer Testimonials




As always, you did a terrific job…in addition to being good guides and good guys, it's almost become a situation in which we are just out there with a couple more of our buddies….really appreciate the good times you guys enable me and my friends to have…all my best,
- Kevin W. Spokane, WA

I wanted to take a minute and thank you again for a great day on Clark's Fork. Your float trip was my first experience fishing a river that way, it won't be my last. Hope to see you guys next year.
- Bob J OH


Dear Terri and John, We went out the first weekend in October and had a great time! I've been meaning to send you a thank you for scheduling our trip with Peter. My husband had never looked at a fly rod, held one much less fished with one. We both grew up in the south fishing with closed reel & rods before our earliest memories with our parents in fresh and salt water. He in Alabama and I in Florida. We recently moved here and he said when in Rome do as the Romans. We're in Montana so we need to fly fish! His parents and I took him to fish the flats with a guide for his 40th b'day. So, it seemed perfect to take him fishing here for his 50th. We've told everyone what a great experience we had with Peter! Not sure how we got so lucky for you to pair us up but we thank you!
- Terri and Jack M. Missoula, MT

Thanks again for another stellar trip with Team Trash. While the body count wasn't particularly mind bending, the quality of fish will make this trip stand out in my mind. The energy, effort and enthusiasm that you and your team contributes is something that we'll always appreciate. Count on us coming back for years.

“I chose the "Personal Trainer" category as to how I would recommend John and his business. Although I hire him several times every year to guide me on fly fishing trips around Montana, that would suggest that he and his employees are 'guides' rather than trainiers. Having fished with John's people so long, you would think that you got all the goods that they had to offer... not the case with his outfit. I have taken my Dad, my Kids, my Wife, and numerous clients and employees to experience the wonder of Western Montana. In the end it is not about the fishing, or the catching, but the experience. I have never taken anyone to fish with BRO where they don't come back to me years later and remember every vivid detail of the trip, and ask me to take them again. We always catch fish. We always laugh. We always have great food. And everyone, regardless of their expertise, always learns something. If you want ot experience Montana, learn to fly fish, expand your skills, or see a true master caster, John is your guy, and the i would vouch for every one the people that he employs. If you are REALLY lucky, his wife Terri will guide you. A beautiful caster as well, and almost as fishy as John. But a lot better looking. First Rate, all the time, every time.”

“These guys are the real deal! My father and I go fly fishing in Missoula for 4 or 5 days every year around Labor Day, we've been doing this trip for about 10 years now, and we go with John and his guides every year. There hasn't been one year out of the ten that we didn't each land a trout over 21 inches, and we've probably averaged 20 fish/day/person over the 10 years (no joke, no fish story). John gets the job done when it comes to guiding. He is great guy, a pleasure to be with, and delivers a top notch service. This guy knows fishing inside and out, John could catch trout in the desert. The only complaint I have about John Herzer, is that there is only one of him!”
- Aaron B. Seattle, WA

Thanks, John. I have been advertising for you big time. Great to have some laughs with you Terry and your guides. Do you have Jake and me down for next year? We would like the same time period with fishing on the Tuesday and Wednesday. Have a great rest of the summer.
- Bill M. OR

“John was the best guide I have had. His drive to make sure we had a successful trip was great. I always recommend John for anyone looking for a world class fly fishing experience. The result of our many events has made John and his family close friends. You will have the time of your life when with BRO.” - Doug K, CA

I would highly recommend Blackfoot River Outfitters to anyone either as a guide or as a group to aspire to be a part of. John will decide what sort of business he wants to build but I can tell you for the serious fisherman who appreciated the opportunity to learn from the master while having a blast doing it, John and his guides are the team to use.
