Testimonials

Our family had an absolutely wonderful experience on our half-day fishing trip with Chad. We started catching trout immediately and continued throughout the trip. Also, we had amazing wildlife sightings including eagles, mergansers, a marmot and white pelicans. Chad was so good with my son — he had the best time and couldn’t stop smiling. Thank you!

Our fly fishing experience was amazing with both Tom and Ralph. Tom took so much time both fly fishing and casting with our grandson and gave him amazing memories. My husband continues to dream about going back to fly fish with them. These guides are such skilled fisherman, have patience extraordinaire, and you know you are fly fishing with the best.

Don’t miss the opportunity to fish with this company — we recommend them wholeheartedly. We caught many fish and the joy we all felt was marvelous while learning to be better at this beautiful way to fish. Thank you for such a fantastic experience.

My wife and I highly recommend Mangis Fishing Guides out of Jackson, WY. Our guide Tyler Staal did an excellent job expanding our knowledge of fly fishing and spin casting as he guided our boat down the renowned Snake River. He could not have been a more pleasant guy to spend time with and was genuinely excited for us as we pulled in cutthroat trout.

For my first time ever guided fishing trip with minimal fishing experience, Larry did an AMAZING job guiding us yesterday on the Snake River! He put us on over 50 fish and was very helpful and informative throughout the entire trip! The trip was hassle-free and a great way to try something new in such a beautiful place!

We caught over 42 fish! Jake was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and personable. We have recommended him to our family and friends. Totally an awesome experience! Would love to do it again.

Ralph guided us down the Snake River, gave us good tips on where to cast, talked about fly vs. spin fishing, and was an all-around cool guy. I usually don’t like fishing but our trip with Ralph made me reconsider. 10/10— I will fish again.

Tom’s knowledge of the river was invaluable. This was our first time fly fishing from a boat and Tom made the experience so fun and memorable. And we caught a lot of fish!

Two of us were out fishing with Jake today on the beautiful mountain sights of the Snake River in his Hyde drift boat for an all day trip. Weather was mostly sunny – cool this morning and near 60 by the afternoon. Jake knew the river very well and we caught fish everywhere he stopped, even though the river was a bit cloudy with the spring runoff. We caught about 50 cutthroat trout between the two of us, several fish between 14” – 17”. Really a great day of memories. We can’t say enough about Jake – a very capable and friendly guide.

We fished with Larry 7/6/23. He picked us up at 7:30. He is a great person and loves what he does. He is so knowledgeable at his job. The day went by way to fast. We will definitely come back to see Larry again. We had Jake in the winter for snow mobile trip. Awesome people. Thank you guys

There is not enough space to tell it all but it was absolutely perfect and amazing beyond words!! Dylan was the absolute BEST!! We saw eagles, geese, and other critters . We caught 12 fish between two of us and yes I closed us out with an 18”. What a fine day, hats off to you guys!! We will always return to you guys, my deepest thanks‼️

My wife and I spent the whole day fishing and hanging out with Larry. He took us down the Snake River. Larry was very patient with us out-of-towners and took the time to show us how to cast and catch fish. Will absolutely do this again. Would recommend this for anyone regardless of fishing experience. The scenic view is a bonus.

We had an amazing day on the snake River and for two people who haven’t fly fished before we couldn’t have had a better guide. Within 5 minutes Larry had us throwing a line in and mending well enough to catch some really nice cutthroat trout! While there is plenty of room for improved casting technique, our hats off to Larry for making sure we had a blast “fishing”. Looking forward to coming back soon! Thanks Larry!

July 14 2023 My wife and I spent the day on the New Fork with Jake. Once again we had a great time. We caught lots good quality fish. Looking forward to coming back in August. You guys are the best.

July 13 2023 My 3 sons and I spent the day on the Snake with Jake and Dillon for my birthday. Had a great time once again. Shane and I were with Dillon he did an excellent job. I would recommend him to anybody. Cody and Brett were with Jake and they had a great time like always. Looking forward to next year.

This was an amazing fishing experience! Our guide was Larry and he was so fun, educational and enjoyable to be around. He taught us all to fish (we didn’t know how to) and we caught 20 fish on our ride because of his awesome teaching! Our group was very large and each guide handled us very well and accommodated us (ages 8-45). All the other guides were so kind and helpful with the boats and showing us all what to do and how to do it properly! 5 star experience for sure! Would definitely come back!!

This was the best fishing experience mainly because of how amazing our guide Larry was!! He was so fun and super great to be around. We learned how to fish and caught 20 fish! It was incredible and his teaching was spot on! Chad drove us to our car and he was super nice and taught us things about actors and singers who live there and about bear 399 and her cubs! I truly recommend this for a trip because of the incredible views and guides (especially Larry) we thank them so much for one of the best experiences of our trip the jackson hole!!!!

My daughter and I have fished with the Mangis team twice now and had quality trips with Chad both times! Chad was very patient teaching my adult daughter how to fly fish on the Snake River. We also saw moose for the first time on the last trip plus eagles, eagle nests, ospreys and numerous merganzer ducks. All of this while enduring a rain and hail storm late in our trip. We definitely recommend the Mangis team for your fly fishing trips. Other members of our family made multiple trips with the Mangis team over many years with various guides and always had a positive experience catching both numbers and quality fish! THAT’S WHY WE KEEP COMING BACK!!!

My wife and I floated the Snake River with guide Chad in May, 2023. The water was high and green/opaque due to snow runoff. Chad was excellent at finding fish in these very challenging conditions allowing us to have a very productive day. In addition to excellent guiding, Chad was extremely courteous and informative about the Snake, Green, Salt and Greys Rivers. Finally, I want to mention the hard work that Chad put into rowing to get us on fish. Rowing hard and long to move quickly from spot to spot. I simply cannot recommend this wonderful guide service enough! And be sure to request Chad!

Larry and Ralph started by educating us on fly fishing techniques. Then let us learn trial by error and had so many patience. We caught plenty of fish on spinning and even started landing a few by fly. For the first time fly fishing we were stoked and ready for the fly fishing challenge back in Florida.

Can’t begin to describe how much we enjoyed our Snake River fishing with our guide, Larry. He knows the river like the back of his hand and every time he instructed us to hit certain targets in the river each and every time it was fish on. In fact, we lost count of the times my wife and I were reeling in fish at the same time. In total we landed 40+ cutthroat trout during our half-day trip. As we plan next year’s trip to Jackson Hole the first reservation we’ll be making is another guided fishing trip with the Snake River guru, Larry!

What a day! Chad and Dillon nailed the perfect balance of instruction, experience and just plain fun to make for a fantastic day. We left tired from learning technique and from caught fish! Easy recommendation for two great guys and great fishermen.

Jim, James and John

My Brother and I fished two days with Jake last week. Once again he did a great job. He put us on fish right away. Even though the weather was snowing the one day and cold the other. We caught lots of quality fish. Jake worked his butt off for us as always. See you in July.

We had a great day with Jimmy, nothing better than catching fish and laughing all day.

This is my second summer booking with Magnis guides and I am already planning on next years trip. We had Matt as a guide this trip, and let me tell you he did not dissapoint. He was not only knowledgeable about the fishing (which we each caught dozens of fish), but also about the terrain and the wildlife. Thanks so much for a great trip Matt

We just finished or third trip to Jackson Hole and our third fishing experience with Mangis Guides.
My wife and I had our 11 year old grandaughter with us and our guide was Chad. He was so patient with our granddaughter and had her casting like a pro in no time. Our daughter, son-in-law and 13 year granddaughter fished with Josh who was also very patient with the 13 year old. Both girls caught numerous trout and we thrilled. Mangis is the best.
Steve Perkins, Paso Robles CA

Our guide, Josh, was knowledgeable, patient, and an excellent instructor. The scenery was magnificent and the fishing was great. My son and I are grateful to Mangis for a great float and great memories!

We went on a early March Fly fishing 🎣 trip with Chad and Josh it was awesome while the fish 🐟 were hiding a bit we all caught a few. The guides were awesome and knowledgeable.

My son and I had a blast fly fishing with Tom! This was our first time fly fishing, and we found Tom to be an exceptional instructor and very patient with us. We were very excited to land a few cutthroat trout. I would highly recommend Mangis to anyone looking for an outstanding fishing outfitter!

First, we caught 95 fish in 2 days along with a 19” cut throat.

But the real treasure of our trip was our guide Josh. He was prepared, thorough, knowledgeable, and was just flat out a joy to be around all day. I’ve fished in many parts of the country with guides, and Josh leads the list.

Highly recommend.

Our trip down the Salt River was my very first fly-fishing experience, and it exceeded every expectation. Dylan picked us up right from our hotel in Jackson Hole and made sure we got to the river safely and comfortably.

The day started perfectly when the very first cast landed a cutthroat trout. From that moment on, we knew it was going to be a great day. The fishing was incredible, with more than 50 fish caught throughout the trip. There were plenty of laughs, a few sore arms by the end, and memories we’ll be talking about for years to come.

Dylan was knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Worst part was having to leave.  We can’t wait to come back and do it again!

We had a wonderful day fishing with Caleb on the Salt!
He was great at rowing us down the beautiful river and guiding us to lots of pretty Browns and Cutty’s!
Thank you!!

Chad did a great job putting 2 beginners on the fish. He provided constant feedback helping us develop our skills.

Float trip flyfishing on the Snake River. Absolutely the best day on the water, thanks to Chad. Seasoned guide, sportsman, and naturalist, his intimate knowledge of productive areas, practically down to the inch, kept the action consistent from the beginning to day’s end. He worked extremely hard, positioning the boat perfectly, often in heavy current, maximizing casting opportunities. The fishing was excellent, but only part of a fantastic day. Chad brought enthusiasm and great stories, and against a background of beautiful scenery, made this experience complete. Thanks Chad!

I had the best experience fishing with Chad at Mangis Guides. I hadn’t been fishing in some time and Chad was patient and an excellent teacher. I caught at least 20 fish in two days. Had a beautiful weather and enjoyed immensely the scenery. Spectacular all in all!!! And thanks Kaitlyn for all your help booking. You are a Sweetie!!

Jimmy was a fantastic guide – he worked his butt off and despite some rain we caught more fish than we could count
1/2 day excursion could have easily become a full day if weather was nicer
Caught brown and cutthroat as well as white fish
Jimmy is outstanding

Josh was great!
Originally my wife was going to spin cast while I used a fly rod. At lunch he encouraged her to try fly fishing. He gave her a short lesson and was very patient and encouraging.
She ended up catching more fish than me the rest of the day.
Beautiful float trip. A real memory maker!

Great time fishing and Josh was an amazing guide

Second trip this week with Mangis and two very good guides, very accomplished and professional. Tom was amazing and as a true local had many great stories and history of the area. Fishing was fun and good with patient guides. I would recommend them to anyone. 10 out of 10!

3 of us were with Tom and Ralph for a half day – we all had little experience fishing and they were amazing. Patient and funny! Their knowledge of the river and the area outstanding. Would not hesitate to book another guide with them.
Can’t thank them enough for some great fishing and memories.

I booked the fishing trip for my husband’s 60th birthday! Chad was our guide and boy was he awesome and amazing! My husband had never been flying fishing before and Chad was a great teacher! He caught over 25 trout. We truly enjoyed our time on the Snake River with Chad!

Booked full day float trip for 2 on the snake river with
our guide Dillon was both knowledgeable and professional
He was able to give great guidance and his knowledge of the river was amazing.
We caught over a hundred trout in spin cast and when we switched to fly fishing he was able to teach me and my son the tactics related to it
we then started catching quality fish with several reaching up to 17 inches
would definitely book this guide service

This was our 10 year anniversary trip and my first time fly fishing. Caleb picked us up early in the morning as he was adamant, that would be the first ones on the water which worked out perfect. Not knowing what to expect this experience was everything I’d hoped for. He was super helpful, and I ended up catching several fish. I’m hooked! We will be back and we will definitely book with Mangis as they are clearly the only choice!

My wife and I have fished for decades with guides from various outfitters in the area and the last 3 years of going with Mangis has been the best. Jimmy was our last guide on the Snake and despite the weather conditions put us onto many fish and helped us with our technique. He was so much fun and highly skilled in finding really good fish. It was relaxing and exciting; Bravo to Jimmy!

My husband and I spent the day with our guide, Jimmy, on Salt River. We caught so many fish we lost count after 60. Never a bad day on the water fly fishing, but the excitement of catching one fish after the other was exceptionally fun and memorable. We finished the day with an adult Sloshies. Doesn’t get much better than that.

My son and I had a great time on the water with Caleb! The fish weren’t biting but we still caught two and my son perfected his fly fishing form. Perfect weather and a great time.

Had an absolutely awesome day on the water with Josh! We absolutely crushed. He had me and my two young boys (ages 12 & 9) on great fish all day. Not only did he put us on the fish but also taught us a bunch. We are experienced salt water fishermen but completely new to fly fishing and we learned a ton. Thanks and we will be back!

Jimmy was an outstanding experience. My cousin had never fly fished before and Jimmy had him pulling in fish all day. Cannot wait to book with him again next trip. 5 stars. We got some sick top water eats.

My family and Friends had an amazing time, we had 5-guides and a group of 10 people my best Friend John Phelan arranged the trip, and my family had an amazing time catching fish, admiring all of the wildlife, all 5 guides were so patient, knowledgeable, informing, we had all learned so much more about fishing and wildlife after our visit, I would highly recommend this trip to all ages, my wife Julie and 9 year old triplets had so much fun and told my wife and I it was the best trip they had ever done.

Matt was a great teacher for our 10-year-old grandson with just the right tips to get him right into the fish! We caught 21 that day! Matt took us to the Salt River again for a second great day of fishing – couldn’t have been any better!!

We had a great experience with Mangis fishing guides. Dillon and Caleb put us on beautiful water. We caught numerous fish with some large browns and rainbows. I would highly recommend Mangis fishing guides for a great fly fishing experience in the Teton area.

Everything from start to finish was perfect. Our guides, Caleb and Dillon were friendly, knowledgeable, and just a pleasure to be with for two full float days. I highly recommend Mangis as a professional first class guiding service.

We had the best morning learning about Wyoming River fishing and actually catching fish with Tom on the Snake River. It was beautiful, fun and super relaxing. Made me want to come back and do it all again!!

Our guide Chad not only made us each time loove fly fishing and catch more and more fish each time, but his knowledge goes beyond fishing, to the surrounding plants, wild life, water condition changes…

This is always the best day of our stay in Wyoming!

Chad was the BEST! My husband is an avid fisherman. He and I joined Chad on a trip and I had not been fishing in 6-7 years. Chad was more than kind; very patient; most encouraging; always positive; used constructive POSITIVE words of affirmation with reeling me into falling in love with fishing and the great outdoors again! YOU HAVE TO PICK CHAD for an enjoyable journey!

I took my wife and 2 young boys out for a half day trip. Matt and Tom were our guides and both were awesome! They were super patient with the kids and we caught a bunch of fish. It was a great and memorable day!

We had a beautiful day on snake river. My husband is an avid fisher and this was my first experience. He loved the feedback and insight from our guide and I felt confident and relaxed. We heard great stories, laughed and enjoyed the day entirely.

Had a blast with my wife and I. Chad put us on fish and coached us on fly fishing all day. Caught fish all day. Super cool experience!

I just finished a full day float on the Snake with Mangis Fishing Guides and it was spectacular. Jake was our guide and he’s the best guide I’ve fished with in my 20 years of flyfishing. He is the nicest and knowledgeable guide. We caught over 30 fish and the views of the mountains was amazing. Five stars.

My daughter, Carrie, and I went on a two day float trip with guide, Josh. Josh was excellent and knowledgeable, even under challenging conditions, and we had a great time catching fish. It had been 20 years since I last fished the Snake which was with Mangis Guide Service, and Mangis is still great. Carrie and I had a wonderful father / daughter experience, and I can highly recommend Mangis and Josh when fishing at Jackson Hole. I certainly hope to come back soon.
Jerry Steed and Carrie Akin

We had such a great day with Jimmy—he was an amazing guide and went way above and beyond to make sure we caught fish and had a great day. Would highly recommend Mangis Fishing Guides for your next trip!

Settled back in Miami and still lingering with my time in Jackson Hole. My guide Jimmy was superb and made sure our floats on the Green were productive and exciting. Caught some beautiful browns and rainbows, hooked a major one but broke it off, saw many moose on the banks. With the Wind Rivers in the distance and good action on the stream, the days flew by but the memories will remain. Thank you for everything.

Caleb was our guide on the New Fork river. In addition to being very professional and proficient at his job, he was a lot of fun to chat and fish with. This was my first experience with one of the Mangis crew; definitely will not be my last. Cheers Caleb!

Hi there, we had the time of our life and caught more trout than we could’ve ever imagined. Josh was the best Guide ever and put us on the fish in the first five minutes. We hit the river. I would recommend him to any client and I will definitely be coming back to fish with y’all again thanks for everything.
