“I’ve been fishing with Chris on the Deerfield and nearby rivers, and in the salt, for at least five years.  He always puts us on the fish no matter the conditions which can be quite variable.  We have fished in downpours, floods and heatwaves.  He is also a good and very patient teacher of all the techniques involved in flyfishing.  And he is a great guy to spend a day on the water with. ”

“Fishing with Chris Jackson is always fun. I try to get out to western MA or Vermont couple of times a year to experience the many rivers that are on Chris’ radar… as well as his enthusiasm about fly fishing. On our first trip together a few years ago I drove home asking myself, “Why fly to Montana when the size and number of browns and rainbows – even a big tiger trout – that day more than equaled my best day out west.” Chris keeps each day with him hopping – knowing when to swing a streamer, put out the nymph rod, work a wet fly, or pound up fish on a dry. ”
