Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Robbie consistently puts clients on productive trout fishing at Lake Taneycomo, with customers regularly catching their limits of rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout. His expertise shines through challenging conditions - when flood gates are open or fish behavior changes throughout the day, he adapts techniques and locations to keep the action going. Multiple reviews highlight how he finds the hot spots when other anglers struggle, and his knowledge of seasonal patterns helps clients land personal best fish even during tough conditions. Customers consistently praise Robbie's exceptional patience with children and beginners, making first-time trout fishing experiences memorable for entire families. His calm demeanor puts nervous kids at ease, and parents appreciate how he handles everything from permits to equipment while keeping everyone engaged. Many families return year after year, with one loyal customer fishing with Robbie for over 10 years. Repeat clients consistently book longer trips and recommend him as the best guide in the Branson area.

Robbie was great to deal with in setting up our trip. He was extremely patient with our 3 boys and very knowledgeable of the water and fishing conditions. He got us on fish even when others weren’t having much luck. Would definitely recommend Dodson Guide Service and look forward to fishing with him again.

Robbie has been my fishing guide in Branson for about 10 years. Very professional, great personality, and knows where the hot spots are! I would highly recommend Dodson Guide service for your next fishing trip. You will not be disappointed.

Great trip! Went for a half day with Robbie on Taneycomo - myself and two grown sons. Had a super experience. Robbie got us right on the trout. Caught plenty of Browns and Rainbows. When the fish bite seemed to change as the day got warmer, we changed methods right with them and kept up catching some nice ones. We will definitely go again and for a full day next time.
