"Chuck is the type of guide most people dream of: on time, courteous, constantly attentive to your fishing. He gave freely of his great selection of flies, changed tippets when needed & most of all, his enthusiasm never dimmed in spite of poor weather & difficult fishing."

- Paul Bazzoni, Tiverton RI

"Chuck is knowledgeable, helpful and very enthusiastic. He certainly is a fine representation of Orvis quality. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anglers of any ability including my wife."

- John LaManna, Northboro MA.

"One of the most pleasant days of fishing I have experienced. The guide, Chuck Kashner, was outstanding. He did everything except cast and fish himself. I will return to fish with him again."

- Gordon Danoff, Arnold MD.

"What a pleasure to spend a day fishing with Chuck! He is patient, knowledgeable, a good listener, teacher,and guide all wrapped into one. I have fished with many guides; Chuck is simply the best. I always learn something new every time I fish with him"

"I have fished the Manchester area with Chuck several times; with my daughter, some with a friend, a couple times solo and soon with my brother. I have fished with many guides and none compare with Chuck. My partner and I call him Heron, because of his patience and efficiency in putting us into fish."

- Barry Mirakian, Stowe VT

"I had a great time, the fishing was good, the scenery was spectacular and the food was excellent. I had little fly fishing experience, but Chuck made me feel very comfortable.
I highly recommend Chuck's guide service and hope to return.

- Joe Murphy, Lexington KY

"I fished solo with Chuck in June 95 and in 96. I returned in September 96 with my brother.
Chuck explained that with two of us I would not experience the one on one treatment I had in the past, especially since my brother had never fly-fished. Well, I don't know how he did it, (maybe a twin brother) but I received the same great treatment. I'm going back!

- Robert McGowen, Clarksburg NJ

"This was my third time fly fishing- Chuck introduced me to the sport last year. I thought I was being a good sport trying it out with my husband for a few hours before I went shopping…But now I'm hooked! I had such a good time I didn't even miss shopping. Chuck took care of everything, he knows the flies, and he knows the spots…Trout live in beautiful places.

- Sally Dempsey, Needham MA

"Chuck is a very patient and enthusiastic person. He really went all out to give us a fine trip, it turned out to be a great trip! Orvis is very lucky to have a guide representing them of this caliber. I highly recommend his guide service.

- Harry Cistalano, Scituate MA

"I can't imagine anyone doing better than Chuck…equipment, instruction, planning, knowledge of the area and wildlife. He was amazing. Chuck does not fish so that he can focus on the client. I would recommend him to anyone and have returned several times with my wife."

- Antony Foster, Framingham MA
