"Jason, thank you very much for the fantastic fishing trip and teaching the kids to fish for bass. They had such a great time and are now “hooked” on the sport. My son Jared was ecstatic when Santa brought him a lot of new fishing gear and he is already planning our next trip up to visit you. We’ve fished a total of four days with you and each seemed to bring even more fish. Unbelievable. The kids and I will see you at Alisal this spring."

"Jason, Thank you for everything over the last few years. Since our first fly fishing first trip together, we've now taken my Dad, Father-in-Law and a few friends with us and they all have had a great time and caught loads of fish. Your fly fishing instruction has taken a novice and grown my passion, skill and enjoyment for the sport. You're always patient with my often poor casting, repetitive basic questions and generous with your time making the learning curve easy and fun. Here's to the past and future good times out on the water, cheers. Attached is a picture of my daughter BEFORE you began teaching us...
Best Wishes"

"Jason,
Your training and teaching skills are truly unique. You taught me the skills it takes to cast in a manner that big or small, no fish is safe again. Your graduated system is truly amazing. There is a saying that "you have to crawl before you walk" and I am telling you, your "cradle to trophy" approach works. Starting with the little fish you build confidence that with accurate casting, it is possible to actually catch the "uncatchable." Though even too small to serve a bait, you enabled me to bring in the little ones. Once, learned you graduated me up to the "keepalbe ones" and all over a mere 3 years of once-a-year lessons with little to no practice between visits. All joking aside, you really are a great teacher - patient, encouraging and most of all skilled. Thanks for making my experience one I will repeat again and recommend to anyone. If you don't think you can fly fish; think again. Jason can get you doing it, and doing it right.
See you next year, if not sooner.
-- Bill"

"My husband and I took our very first fly fishing lesson with Jason this summer, something we'd wanted to do for years. Jason took us out early one morning and before the early morning fog had lifted we'd both caught fish! It was a dream come true. From the first lesson to the last nibble, Jason was an incredible teacher. He is extremely knowledgeable and has an intuitive sense for both fish and people. He knew exactly where to correct us, spotted fish where all we saw was weeds, and tailored every little bit of our experience to our needs and limitations. All this was done at a highly professional level, with plenty of humor to keep us going. Jason is a master at his sport, and a genuine person all at the same time."

"Jason is like one of those really cool professors that gave you all the answers before you had to take the exam. He is an incredibly gifted fisherman and a terrific guide. His passion is to teach with his fly rod but he smiles just as wide when he gets you into a fish on top with a bait-caster. I highly recommend him as a top-notch fishing guide and a trusted friend on the water.

"Jason has been my role model for a couple of years now by inspiring me in the sport of bass fishing. It has opened up so many different doors for me to explore. On our first trip I didn’t know anything about fishing and a couple of trips later I was hooked onto the sport and started doing many different things with bass fishing such as fly fishing whenever I can and practicing my skills . I look forward to many years to come to be filled with fishing with Jason and many learning experiences."

"Dear fellow anglers, several years ago we were fortunate to cross paths ( and lines a few times) with Jason Grupp at Alisal Ranch where he had taken over management of the ranch lake. We instantly hit it off with Jason and his easy going demeanor. Over the years, we have continued to join Jason for fishing trips on a regular basis. He has provided our family with solid skills and technique, advice on gear, endless patience, great company and more gear than we will ever admit to. We can not say enough great things about Jason."

"Jason; It would be redundant to continue to say how great our Monday on the lake was. Thanks bud for one of those "lifetime" memories. To the point my friend, next year we will be there. I think it would be cool to throw metal on Sunday and throw Flies on Tuesday. Don't even think of telling me you are already booked. Peace and love bud."
