“Lloyd, thanks again for the amazing week's fishing, how you put up with us two old guys' ability to stuff up most of those opportunities you presented is amazing. Your patience and guidance were truly first-class, we would have never caught half of those fish without your eagle-like eyesight and in-tune local knowledge.” — Chad & Steve, Denver Colorado
