I always use a guide when I travel around the country. I must say Derek was one of the best that I've worked with! I've always wanted to catch carp on a fly. Derek put me on fish quickly and I landed some beautiful and large carp. Derek was very professional. I've been fly fishing for a long time but needed to make some adjustments to catch these fish. Derek provided just the right amount of advice and successfully corrected my backcast and hook set. I highly recommend Derek. If you visit AZ and want to get some time on the water you must give Derek a call!

It was my first time fishing out canals and had a great time.  Grass Carp are fun and good sized.  Derek was an awesome guide and I look forward to fishing with him again.

Got to fish the canals with Ryan after work.  Had to take a pause and a beverage as a big storm blew over then back tonthe water.  Tons of fun, these fish are a blast to chase and Derek and his team are all top notch!!

Derek was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the local fisheries. Good communication is a must for me when hiring a guide and Derek was above and beyond others I've hired before. Very cool and unique fishing, great late winter get away to Phoenix and I'll be back. Super cool logo too

I had thought of myself as a competent fly fisherman until I had a few solo sessions with Arizona canal carp. I was frustrated in the extreme and sought professional help! Derek saved my ego with two excellent trips. Not only did he put me on feeding fish but he coached my moves to actually net a beauty after I had missed many takes. I lookfoward to my next outing with him.

Derek is a very knowledgeable guide. We had a great day on the canals sight fishing for grass carp. I will definitely give Lo Water Guide a shout out whenever I am in the PHX area! Thanks for the enjoyable afternoon chasing carp!!

Derek was an absolute stud. We targeted carp for our trip and Derek got us into fish in no time. Was extremely patient and humble. Awesome day out. If you're looking to find carp give him a buzz. He'll hook it up for sure.

Derrick knows his stuff. He’s friendly and he’s an effective guide. Carp fishing is challenging but it’s great having a guide that knows the fish, where they are holding, what they will eat, and how to access them. I highly recommend!

I moved to Arizona from NJ to go to graduate school at ASU. Derek helped me catch my first carp on the fly, which was on my Arizona bucket list. I enjoyed the experience. I have a lot of experience fly fishing for trout, but fly fishing for carp requires a different approach. Derek showed patience with me and he knows what he is doing. I recommend fishing with Derek!

First time chasing Carp with the fly was a blast! Seeing these fish come out of nowhere chasing the fly kept you on edge the entire time. Looking forward to doing it again soon! Derek has paid his dues on these urban fish and definitely has it down
