Exceptional Experience at Eagle Nest Lodge
I had an exceptional experience at Eagle Nest – John and Becca were wonderful hosts; the staff at the lodge were exceptional; the food was great; and our guide David was very knowledgeable, patient, and hard-working. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! All the meals were great. The dinners were phenomenal. The breakfasts were hearty and exactly to order. The lunches on the river hit the spot. This was my first fishing trip of this type and it completely exceeded my expectations in that the lodge was impeccable and the hosts and staff were so friendly and customer-centric. Hell, even the dogs were great! Honestly, I’m not sure I’d have any suggestions for improvements. It was all to my satisfaction. ——Justin J. Texas
