Matt Heron Fly Fishing

We had the best time in the beginners Catch & Cast lesson with Matt. Would absolutely recommend to anyone. Matt is super knowledgeable and a great instructor who has lots of respect for the sport and for the fish themselves. The first half of the lesson was spent learning to cast and the second half we were fishing in the pond. And we caught a few fish!!!! Next time we are back in Truckee we will definitely get back out on the water with Matt. River is up next for us. One of our trip highlights - must book!!!

I participated in a river fly fishing trip through Big Brother Big Sisters, and my little and I had a fantastic time! We had Adam E as our guide and he was great, he was very patient with my little and I as we were both totally new to fishing. We both caught a fish and Adam showed us how to reel it in and was generally very knowledgeable about fishing and nature. Adam was great and we had a great experience overall.

Extremely satisfied with my guide and trip with Matt Heron Fly Fishing. Great technical advice from Mike (practically swam with a mask a snorkle and placed the fish on my hook LOL!) and knowledge of the Truckee River!

Fantastic experience overall! The communication in the days leading up to the trip was great. Expectations and instructions were clear. Mostly though I can’t say enough good things about our guide Morgan. He taught me a lot and went way out of his way to get my 8 year old son stoked on fly fishing. My expectations were high and they were met!

We had a wonderful time. Our guide was Finn and he was patient, had a sense of humor, knew the history of the Truckee area and in discussions, was wise beyond his years. And we caught several fish!

Another great day fishing with Matt’s team - this time with Austin. Lulana is so attentive and will get you set up - you will have fun, you will catch fish and you will learn something in a beautiful setting from highly experienced guides… what’s not to like.

Hands down the best fly fishing guide I have ever hired or worked with. Matt is superbly skilled, incredibly well-informed, endlessly enthusiastic, and can meet any guest at the skill level they're at. Plus he has the eyes of a hawk, and can spot fish at an inhuman level. If you're in the Truckee region, use this guy and his team.

We used Matt Heron Fly Fishing to plan several days of fishing for my husband and some family in October. They were responsive, accommodating, and so pleasant to work with. Everyone who went had a great time and couldn't stop talking about how great the guides were. Would absolutely recommend!
