Awesome trips and friendship I’ve been on two trips with “Fatties” and they were both fantastic! The guides, instruction and just fishing on The Brazos River were great! It’s always fun and rewarding to me when you learn something new about this great thing called fly fishing! I’m looking forward to spring and summer with this group back on The Brazos!

Ben S. 🇺🇸

Great times!! Went with the Orvis group and Fatties, and we did a half-wade, half-drift trip. The guides are great, the waters are fishy, and they get excited with all the species. . . I had a five-species day!

Paul E. 🇺🇸

Best day on the Brazos I had the opportunity to fish a private stretch of the Brazos with Ben from Fatties on the Fly. Of the many days I have spent fishing the river, my day with Ben was the best. I caught the most fish, learned some great tips and just generally had a great time.

Ryan C. 🇺🇸

Hi Ben, We are so excited to hear that you have had two fantastic trips out on the Brazos River with us! It is wonderful to know that our guides and instruction helped make your time on the water both rewarding and fun. We believe that there is always something new to learn in this sport, and we love that you share that passion for growing as an angler. Thank you for being part of the Fatties on the Fly community. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Great Group Very professional in their dealings with their customers. Were very helpful in selecting flies and help in technique. I am anxiously awaiting my next trip.

Brazos River Trip Had an awesome time with Colby from Fatties on the Fly! Caught upwards of 10 different species on my first float fly fishing trip. Colby worked hard to put me on fish and help with my casting technique. A great piece of river that was truly an enjoyable experience. Can't wait to do some spring fishing with you guys!

Epic Devils River Trip A few years ago, myself and two buddies floated the Devils River with Ben. It was an unforgettable trip, and I hope to do it again soon. The logistics, accommodations, and food were so well planned out. You see some magnificent country every bend of the river, with each day’s scenery being drastically different than the day before. The other exciting thing about the trip is the variety of fish available to hunt. Ben got me onto Carp, which requires a different technique, which he was happy to teach me.

Epic Striper fishing just outside Dallas! Unbelievable experience on the Brazos River with Ben. This was my first time fishing in Texas and Ben put us on an awesome variety of species. Stripers, Guadalupe and Gar fishing was an experience I’ll never forget. I’d highly recommend Fatties on the Fly for anyone looking for an awesome trip in Texas.
