Testimonials Over The Years...
"KynsLee was so much fun to work with. She taught me so much in a short time and made it easy for me to understand. She gave me a great start and made me excited to get out on the river. I would recommend her and will probably do a guided trip too." (via Blackfoot River's Orvis Reviews, 2011).
"Went on a float trip for the first time on the beautiful Missouri River with guide KynsLee of Blackfoot River Outfitters. I can't say enough about how great this trip was. Guide KynsLee was fantastic. Her knowledge and love of the rivers is notable. She is an Endorsed Guide, so I felt totally safe and learned so much about the river and other fly-fishing techniques that by the end of the day, I was a better a fisherman/women. She is knowledgeable, courteous and most of all fun to be with. I caught big Rainbows to boot. She’s the guide you want to be with. Blackfoot River Outfitters is an excellent place to go to. They have the most genuinely nicest owners and staff members that work above and beyond your expectations." (via Blackfoot River's Orvis Reviews, 2013).
"So this was our first time fly fishing. We hired a guide for half day and was guided by the cheerful and delightful Kynslee. She took us on a 20-30 min drive to drop in our boat in the Blackfoot River and we were fishing in no time. Beginners luck and good guiding I ended up with a 20" Cutthroat Trout in the first hour of our excursion. We threw it back of course. That's the norm. We were given excellent MT tips on where to explore, fish, and camp. Since we were just visiting from out of town we had about a million questions for our guide. She was knowledgeable on literally everything. And so passionate about fishing. At the end of our trip we bought a beginners fishing rod set from Blackfoot and we will continue on our road trip and see how we do with all our new fly fishing knowledge. Thank you, KynsLee!" (via Yelp, 2015).
"One of the most patient and knowledgeable spey guides I've ever hired. KynsLee took my cast from okay to greatness in one day. She explained the physics to where I could understand things and worked with me to dial it in. If you are looking for a world class instructor, KynsLee is it." (via The Evening Hatch, 2016).
