American Standard Fly Fishing Guides

Customer Testimonials

Our fishing guide Ben B. was awesome and accommodated all of our requests with very short notice! He took his time to train my daughter and me on proper techniques and taught us lots of foundational knowledge on fishing that made the trip a success. It was loads of fun that we’ll remember for a lifetime. I would highly recommend Ben for guided fishing tours and I’ll definitely be back again!

Awesome day fishing today with Ben! We started out early today at Bushkill Creek and immediately caught fish. Ben B. guided my sons Nick and Mike on their fly fishing debut. As both boys are novice fishermen, they relied heavily on Ben. Ben’s knowledge of the water and his ability to share his knowledge were invaluable. The boys were schooled on technique, and given basic information on fly fishing. I would highly recommend Ben, and American Standard Fly Fishing Guides to anyone looking for a great experience.

Ben T. was nice enough to take me out yesterday and we had a great time and I learned alot! He is very patient and even more knowledgeable. He has great vision and offers a great experience!

I went on a guided trip with Ben B. on May 8th. We first went to a small stream through the game lands where we easily caught some wild brown trout and some native brook trout. We then went to a larger stream with stocked fish. I had an excellent experience at both streams. Ben is a young man with an amazing amount of fly fishing experience. He has great skill in locating trout on the streams. I look forward to taking another guided trip with him in the future. I highly recommend that you take a guided trip with American Standard Fly Fishing Guides. Tight lines!!!

Ben Trew took me out on Spring and Penn's. I wanted to learn more about euro-nymphing. Ben was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Knew the water, knew the technique, and knew how to help me learn. I caught a ton of fish, but more importantly gained a lot of knowledge. Couldn't have been a better day.

I fished with Ben Trew in the Bellefonte/Fisherman’s Paradise areas in Pennsylvania. I learned a lot of great tips and techniques that helped me to catch fish. Ben is extremely knowledgeable & patient. As a disabled veteran I needed additional assistance getting into the creeks and down to the fishing areas. He made certain that I was safe and had a fabulous adventure. Whether you’re looking for a half or full-day outing Ben is the guide you want in Pennsylvania. He’s nationally recognized for his fly fishing prowess and it shows. I learned more in a day with Ben than I have in 25 years of fly fishing, reading, and watching instructional videos. Contact Joe Broscius and ask for Ben Trew. It’s worth the investment and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Had a great day fishing Schuylkill County, PA. Tough conditions with 20 degree temps and white out snow squalls, Ben B. stayed on task managing to get me and my son onto multiple wild Brookies and Browns!

Went out with Nick in Central PA and had a great time. Highly recommend going out with him.

Chris was our guide on a trip near Jim Thorpe in PA. We caught loads of fish and learned a ton about fly fishing techniques. 100% worth getting a guide, no time was wasted searching for the right spot or the proper fly for conditions. Chris knew exactly what was biting. Highly recommend! No gear necessary as they can provide whatever you need.

Amazing day on the water, renewed my willingness to keep with the sport. Ben Trew is an amazing guide to work with for someone like me. Caught fish lost fish but it was the experience I was looking for. Couldn't have asked for a better day than I got.

Researched fly fishing guided outings for my son (13) and I while on our Lake Harmony vacation and found American Standard Fly Fishing Guides. Ben hooked us up with all the necessary gear along with snacks and drinks making the whole thing trouble free so my son and I could just focus on the fishing and making memories. It was an awesome experience! This was our first time fly fishing - Ben was patient and extremely knowledgeable. We hit several spots throughout the half day. Ben knew exactly where the fish were and what they liked to eat. My son landed our first fish of the day and that alone was priceless. In the end, we learned a lot and had an unforgettable experience.
We would absolutely book another out with American Standard Fly Fishing Guides again!

Fantastic experience with Ben. We booked short notice and they were able to accommodate us. Ben did a fantastic job communicating beforehand. We went to some beautiful streams, and we all caught fish!
Ted S.
We had a great time. Beautiful locations and Ben was a great guide who was very informative, gave great feedback and instruction.
Dannika S.
Our trip with Ben at American Standard exceeded ALL expectations. Ben made every effort to teach us and make sure we caught fish on a rather tricky day and shared our excitement with every catch. We will definitely be returning for many trips with American Standard.
Meg B.
Amazing experience with Ben. Took a friend of mine with no fly fishing experience on a day trip. Ben put us on fish right away and I would end up catching my personal best brown trout at 22 inches.
Ben had all the equipment needed for my friend (I brought my own personal rods and such) and even brought snacks, water, and coffee. I'm a pretty experienced fly fisherman but Ben, was on the US Fly Fishing Team refined my casting and even taught me how to bow cast in minutes.
I definitely recommend American Standard and will be cominh back.
