TESTIMONIAL

separator
There aren’t enough adjectives and superlatives to describe our Talaheim experience. One day was out done by the next. The entire experience was astounding. Thanks to the staff: each dedicated and proficient in their craft. And much gratitude for the kindness and thoughtfulness in the accommodations made for Sylvia in order to fully enjoy the experience.
Bill & Sylvia Smalley
Thanks for a great trip! This was our first trip in and will be back for sure. The place is unimaginable to experience. A piece of heaven in the wilderness. Our time was perfect as we had warm sunny days and tons of fish.

Another great trip! My 4th time, 2 times with my wife, and now this time with my son. Great fishing. Maybe the best rainbow trout fishing I’ve ever had. However, the best part are the people, starting with Mark and his staff, and the best guides you’ll ever find. Looking forward to our next trip already.
