Southwestern OntarioText Box: Client Testimonial “We had an incredible adventure on the Maitland with Mike. I learned more in a day than I had all summer about the craft and joys of fly fishing.” Arthur Potts, Proprietor, The Pilot Tavern, Toronto TestimonialTestimonialTestimonialTestimonialText Box: Client Testimonial "The Maitland is a demanding river to fly fish with a unique set of challenges. Because of its sheer size, locating fish and presenting the fly can be quite difficult. Having Mike as a guide is an invaluable resource as he has extensive knowledge of the river, locations where fish are holding and also the flies and techniques necessary to be succssful. I had a GREAT day - 5 steelhead hooked, 2 landed. I will truely remember this day for a long time. Thanks Mike!" Serge Mrkobrada, Toronto Text Box: Client Testimonial “I had the pleasure of doing a waterfowl and upland hunt with Mike Verhoef in December.  Mike is the consummate host and a most knowledgeable guide.  Mike's insight is not just about the hunt , but he is packed with fact filled insight on the culture, geography and region we were hunting in. Great guide, great hunting! I and the Canada In The Rough crew look forward to joining him again in the field" Thomas Pigeon Host & Executive Producer, Canada In The Rough. TestimonialText Box: Client Testimonial “Mike will put you on the fish on the Maitland and help you out if you're pursuing your first steelhead.” Ivan TestimonialText Box: Client Testimonial “I am a novice fly fisherman, and I had no experience at all with drifting. I was afraid I’d try the patience of my poor guide. To the contrary! Mike was fantastic: patient, supportive and an all-round great instructor. I even fell on a spare rod fighting my first steelhead and nearly tumbled out of the raft to boot. Mike kept his cool through it all. All this was doubly confirmed when Mike and I took my seven year old daughter, Saima, for an eight hour drift. She loved it so much, she asked to go again while we were disembarking! She’s counting the days till her next float trip with her new friend, Mike, and so am I. Rob Stainton, Dept. of Philosophy, UWO TestimonialText Box: Client Testimonial “In June 2005 I was fortunate enough to spend four days with Mike Verhoef on fabulous Lake St. Joseph at the Old Post Lodge; fly fishing for monster northerners as well as something which fly fishers aren’t use to catching—big walleye on the fly! To this day I have not stopped telling my friends about that trip and I have a feeling those special memories will not fade for a very long time! Thanks Mike! Nic Pujic The Canadian Fly Fisher Magazine TestimonialText Box: Client Testimonial “When I booked my first float trip with Mike, my only wish for that trip was to land my first steelhead and give my friend Jeanette a chance to get out on the river with her fly rod and a day she would remember. Mike delivered! Not only did he deliver but the float trip was breathtaking. The water was gin clear and you feel like you’re flying. I had no idea that the Maitland was so beautiful. Every year it’s getting harder and harder to find an undisturbed quiet place to cast a fly line. Mike offers just that. What impressed me the most was how hard Mike worked to bring us a day we wouldn’t forget. Drift fishing was a first for me. Mike was very helpful in teaching me the things I needed to know. His knowledge of the local rivers is incredible. I thoroughly enjoy every chance I get to fish with him. I can’t wait until May and our next float trip.” Deb Freele
