What I really found different about hiring David is that he is not your typical guide who just takes you out and tells you when and where to cast. He walks you through the setup of the rig and fly choice as well as reading the water, teaching you every step of the way.

I’ve fished with David on everything from small streams to large rivers, and every trip has been outstanding. His knowledge of the water, fish behavior, and techniques is impressive, but what really sets him apart is how much he teaches along the way. He explains why certain approaches work, helping you become a better angler instead of just putting you on fish.

If anyone is looking to fish a Utah river, I highly recommend hiring David Blackett … as your licensed guide. He knows these rivers like the back of his hand, ties the fly patterns that are sure to land fish, is so friendly, and such a pleasure to talk with. I’ve had the opportunity to fish with him a couple of times and looking forward to doing it again soon. Y’all need to check him out!

There are few people who are as good at guiding newbies fly fishing in Utah than … Give David a call if you ever want to introduce someone to fly fishing in Northern Utah! He’s a great person and a great guide!

That’s what I admire in you David. You take the time to take it all in. You’re not in a hurry, not in a rush, relaxed, allowing the whole experience to be therapeutic and stress free. Something I learned from you that I want to be better at. Not only when I’m fishing, but in every day life. Thank you for that lesson.

They were definitely well-fed and in a very secluded area. Felt a bit like cheating except the water was public. David definitely knows that area well!

If you haven’t been on a guided trip with David, you’re missing out.

You’re kind, David. I learned a ton from you. …
