Loved Troy. Great guy. Very knowledgeable on, not only stripers, but most fish. After the flood in April fishing was tough be he worked hard to get us on some. We even caught several catfish and he kept and cleaned them as well. Explained the diff between blues and channel. Looking forward to fishing with him again.

June 25 morning trip with Troy. The lake has had some serious water gain flooding out the majority of low level areas. Was concerned fishing with these unknown conditions but Troy had us on fish early and often. When the bite slowed we switch techniques to allow us to continue to catch. Troy goes above and beyond and is an all around good guy. Can't wait to go back out with him.

I booked a fishing trip with Troy for myself, my son and my 4 grandsons. Troy was so especially thoughtful and professional for my young crew. He worked so hard all through the trip all the while educating my grandsons about fishing. He taught each of them without criticism and cheered them on with each catch. We will be scheduling again. For those that may be skeptical, the answer is no he didn't ask for a review. Just my thanks for a great experience.

Fishing with Troy was great. He is very organized and really hustles around the boat to make a great experience for his guests. Very willing to share tricks of the trade also. I know I’m a better fisherman after spending the day with Troy.

"Troy's Guide Service on Lake Texoma absolutely exceeded all expectations! My wife and I, avid anglers ourselves, booked a two-day anniversary trip with Troy, hoping to experience the legendary striper fishing on Texoma. We were blown away! From start to finish, Troy took care of everything. He arranged comfortable lodging, provided all the necessary bait and top-notch fishing equipment, and even cleaned and bagged our catch – talk about service! All we had to do was show up ready to fish and bring our own drinks and snacks. Beyond the convenience, Troy's passion for fishing and his dedication to ensuring an incredible experience truly shone through. We caught so many fish and had an absolute blast! The price was incredibly reasonable for the level of service and the unforgettable memories we made. We're already planning our next trip with Troy – highly, highly recommend!"

Best guide around! I have taken my kids and dad out with Troy and always catch our limit! He knows the lake like the back of his hand and is great with kids. He made them laugh and have them a great memory!

We booked with Troy for 2 adults, a 12 year old, and a 13 year old. Communication was great before hand so that we exactly where to go. He was great with the kids. Super helpful, knowledgeable and taught the boys what to do, and helped them out as well when they caught fish. My son wanted Troy to put the bait on the hook because he said he caught more when Troy put it on. He was professional and safety aware. We went out on a windy day and he had to adjust some of his plan for safety. He cleaned the fish and bagged them for us to take home. The boys loved the trip and have already asked to go back....with Troy of course! I highly recommend Troy's Guide Service!
