Patient, passionate, ethical and decades of experience. This is fly fishing at its very best.Posted on Google Ryan DonaldsonOctober 9, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the last year I have had the privilege to fish with Rich on several occasions. He is a true master of his craft. On every trip he has dramatically impacted my skill set in ways I never thought possible in addition to putting me on many fish. He is a true steward of the sport and it is inspiring. I look forward to future trips with him and could not recommend him enough!Posted on Google Matthew GodsoeSeptember 23, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rich is the standard against which all fly guides should be measured. I had a great full day guided trip with him this spring, pulling in over 30 trout! His knowledge both of the rivers he guides and on the art of fly fishing itself is second to none. I’ve seen the benefits of my day with Rich in my fishing performance all season long. Will definitely be back to touch up on my skills and just hang out with him on the water.Posted on Google Jill DelGrossoAugust 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband spent a late August Friday with Rich and couldn’t stop raving about the experience and fish! Rich is a true professional and expert fly fisherman and teacher. Cannot recommend him highly enough!Posted on Google austin philippJuly 23, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rich is an excellent guide! He’s polite, knowledgeable and does everything in his power to give you the best experience possible. I’ve learned a ton of new skills and techniques while having a blast catching trout. If you really want to experience fly fishing in the Adirondack mountains, go with Rich!Posted on Google Tom WilsonJune 1, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shakespeare lost sleep wishing he could write like Rick Garfield reads water. Monet once said “ I dream of painting like Rich Garfield fly fishes”. Jimi Hendrix practiced until his fingers were bleeding in hopes of playing guitar like Rich Garfield casts a fly. Rich Garfield once counted to infinity, two times…no wait, that was Chuck Norris..sorry, but you get my point. Seriously, I consider it a rare privilege to spend time with and learn from a man that has reached the pinnacle of his trade through passion, curiosity, and perseverance. When Rich takes a break from being the top fly fishing guide in the Adirondacks … he goes fly fishing. What does that tell you ? I’ve known and have fished with Rich for over 15 years and consider him a good friend. As a college graduation gift, I recently brought my nephew on a trip with Rich which is now the basis of lifelong memories. Fishing was lights out. Rich put us on monster Trout for two days for just an epic trip! I cannot recommend highly enough. I cannot fathom how any guide could be all around better for in any way!! Thank you Mr. Garfield !!Posted on Google Nick BrockMay 27, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
