The Evidence



“I have fished with Don on the Fall River for years now. It's always an enjoyable day. He has a knack for finding big fish. Whatever it takes, he will figure out how to crack the code to make your day a successful one.”

“Paul introduced me to steelhead fishing on the Trinity River, and I could not have had a better guide. Paul has a detailed knowledge of the river, where the fish are located, and what flies they are taking. Paul works extremely hard to get his clients into fish--often rowing upstream several times to get a good shot at a fish. In addition to being a great guide, Paul is a great conversationalist and a great guy. If you want a great day on a great river, you cannot top Paul on the Trinity.”

John W. Edwards II

“I always look forward to fishing with Don to see what new piece of fly fishing equipment he is testing or has acquired since our last trip. Don is always observing the river and is prepared to think outside the box and try something new, changing up flies, presentations or locations to connect with those wily Fall River rainbows.”

“Paul is the best steelhead guide I have ever had the pleasure to fish with, and a great guy. He knows every steelhead run and bucket in the Trinity and if there are fish there, he will put you on them. My best day on the Trinity with Paul was 9 for 12 - that's steelhead landed, not trout! Do yourself a favor and book him on your next trip to the Trinity.”

“I have spent many productive hours fishing Fall River with Don Horton. Don is an expert at identifying the hatch that is attracting the fish. That is particularly important on Fall River, because there are often 3-4 hatches at one time, but the fish seem to prefer only one form of one of the hatches. Don is always a fun and interesting fishing companion. You cannot find a better guide to introduce you to Fall River than Don Horton.”

John Edwards — Hillsborough, CA

“Don, thanks so much for the wonderful week on the Fall River with my son and grandsons. We all had a wonderful time and the boys will always remember their first fish on a fly. I have a framed photo of the 22-inch rainbow I caught displayed in my office and I remember that day often.”
