"I had such a positive experience with my initial lesson with Ray. I went into the lesson with no experience and came out feeling really excited to start fly fishing. Ray is so passionate about the sport, he gets you excited and interested but also very understanding if you are brand new. His knowledge and expertise are evident as soon as you begin working together. He has great recommendations and has the ultimate goal to get you where you need to be. I'm excited for my next lesson!"

"I’ve been fly fishing for one season, thought I knew the basics. Boy was I wrong. In a two hour session Ray helped me understand the fundamental mechanics of casting and how to adapt to different situations. I left confident in my abilities and even caught a few fish later that day. Ray is a great instructor with a passion for helping others. I highly encourage anyone looking to learn about fly fishing to take a course with him. You won’t be disappointed."

“I just wanted to let you know how great of a time I had. Not having much fishing experience in any area, I was hesitant to take your course. I have to say that you were/are a great instructor. I felt like we had known you for years which made the lesson that much easier to focus on.”

"Ray is an unbelievable teacher. I have never fly-fished & felt a tad intimidated by the thought of taking this on. I need not have worried! Ray adopts an informative but easygoing approach, is positive and energetic and really imparts his obvious enthusiasm to his pupils. I Kraft our 3-hour session full of confidence and raring to go! Cant recommend Ray strongly enough, he's the real deal. I'm extremely pleased & grateful! Well done Ray Ramos.........top man!"

"My private half-day session was thoughtful fun super informative hands-on and gave me time to put his words and my exact needs and desires into action. I walked away informed excited and confident with what Ray was able to thoughtfully teach me. I was worried I would be intimidated or feel overwhelmed but instead, it was just the opposite!! if I could I would take a lesson with him every week!"

"My friend and I recently took two introductory lessons with Ray. Neither one of us had done any fly fishing before. Ray is the consummate outdoor teaching professional. He is an excellent teacher. His incredible passion for fly fishing is contagious. After two lessons I feel confident that I can start fishing on my own. I enthusiastically recommend anyone who wants to start fly fishing or needs a refresher to contact Ray. I plan on taking more lessons with him in the future."

"What an amazing time my husband and our kids had learning from Mr. Ramos. Besides beyond skilled, he is simply the nicest soul to chat with. We have made memories with him and his company, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Ray for being patient, thoughtful and I'm grateful with our family."

"I really can’t say enough about Ray. I am a fairly seasoned caster and have caught many hundreds of fish on the fly. Ray was able to teach me some concepts that I hadn’t ever considered. He is thoughtful, professional and very insightful in terms of specifically tailoring his lessons to his student’s particular needs. I would recommend him wholeheartedly and look forward to another lesson soon. All I can say is look out fish in 2024. We are bringing some technique to the game this year. Thanks Ray!"
