I heartily recommend Ben Jewell as one of the finest guides with whom I've had the pleasure of sharing great fly fishing adventures.  I've been traveling to the Paradise Valley / Yellowstone National Park area for the past 25 years and Ben has guided me and my daughter for the past seven years on float trips on the Yellowstone, walk and wades on the Gardiner, hikes into the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone, and hikes into the second meadow of Slough Creek.  Ben is exceptional at reading water, analyzing insect life, and tirelessly putting us on wonderful trout.  His enthusiasm for our sport is infectious.  Ben is the best.

Ben Jewel is the most passionate angler I’ve ever met.  I’ve fished with guides all over the world but I always come back to Ben.  His energy is contagious and his knowledge of fish and insect patterns are unparalleled.  Ben is a hard worker.  I’ve used many guides that know what they are doing but they aren’t willing to put in the hard work to make that special fish possible, such as Ben does.  Count yourself lucky if you can get a day on the water with Ben.  You won’t regret it.

I have had the pleasure of traveling to Gardiner Montana and fishing with Ben Jewell for over a decade.  During that time Ben has never failed to go above and beyond to provide his clients with an outstanding experience.  Whether it's dredging with Nymphs for big browns or floating the Yellowstones in search of cutthroats with dry fly's Ben always over delivers and has provided us with an amazing experience.  I would highly recommend using Ben Jewell's services if you can, You will not regret it.  Ben will help make you a much better fly fisher, and you will have a first class professional experience!
