What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

Had the best day on the Owyhee River with Josh Hoffman from Vice. I went into the day with some fly fishing experience, but leveled quickly up on casting, mending, and other helpful techniques. Josh was incredibly positive, professional, and genuine. We caught a ton of fish! But even more importantly, we had a personal coach and #1 fan alongside us. He was so genuinely excited for us when he saw his teaching results improve in real time. I also have fly fishing experience with Matt Housel and Matt Nobbs. All of the above can be said for them as well. A truly genuine group of guys who just love fly fishing and want to pass along that passion. I am a self taught fly fisher, and can’t stress how worth it a lesson like this is! Wish I had done it sooner. Fish on!

My friend and I had the most incredible day on the Owyhee yesterday! The weather was perfect, the fish (mostly) cooperative, and Josh from Vice Outdoors made all the difference. If anyone is looking to learn more about the Owyhee, casting instructions, reading water, or simply want to fish with your own personal cheerleader, I highly recommend going with Josh. Thank you, Josh, for a fantastic day on the water!

My brother Eric and I spent four hours fishing the Boise River with Matt and Anthony from Vice Outdoors, and it was an excellent experience. We don’t get many chances to fish together, and were a bit rusty, but Matt and Anthony were patient, encouraging, and great coaches throughout the trip. They helped us sharpen our technique and put us in good water, and Eric especially landed some really nice trout. Relaxed, professional, and genuinely fun guides – highly recommend Vice Outdoors to anyone looking for a great day on the river.
