If you’re looking to learn or even improve your fly casting ability, Misty is the right choice to help you. I had a decent grasp on basic fly casting but wanted to improve on that. I now have more ability o target and catch fish that I couldn’t have before. He’s highly knowledgeable on all aspects and principals of the fly cast. His enthusiasm is encouraging amd exciting. and his patience makes the learning experience fun and pressure free. Above all he’s a great guy. I’d highly recommend him to anyone in the fly fishing world.

I did a 3 hour casting lesson. What I walked away with is 5 times more than I asked and expected. Misty is; word class trust me and do the research to see his experience. He is Unequivocally intelligent, nurturing, focused, detailed, stays on point throughout the entire lesson, and he is a down to earth man he genuinely cares about your progress. On top of it he makes himself available after the lesson by calling and asking any questions. He also provides videos and follow up information on your lessons. I could go on because in 3 hours I received more information and took away more than I did with a any one else in a 8 hour guide trips. I had such a great experience with Misty he CARES!

I grew up in Ellicott City in the 1990s, and fly-fishing on the Patapsco River was always on the bucket list. A quarter century later, I finally found the perfect friend to show me the ropes. That guy is Misty Dhillon! Don't hesitate to book him. The dude is literally still yelling "PERFECT CAST! OH! BEAUTIFUL!" 5 hours into the lesson. Where does he get the enthusiasm? It's his life passion! Misty's been leading highly-experienced anglers on fly-fishing treks in the Himalayas for 23 years -- and now he has turned his sights to the Patapsco. We should count our lucky stars!

I feel so energized after my afternoon on the Patapsco River with Misty. I truly needed a fly fishing refresher lesson. And his approach was spot on ... deep knowledge, positive energy and a great way of connecting it all from my head to my hands. I'm grateful and can't wait to learn more on my next trip.
