"I have hit game winning home runs in front of thousands of fans and played in numerous All Star Games but the feeling I got while fly fishing for steelhead with the "Braz" fills my soul ten fold. Jeff is the size of a bear, has the heart of a lion but is a first class servant-leader. The days on the river flew by as all I had to do was throw the bug to the fish as the "Braz" took care of the rest! If you want an amazing experience - look no further...book a trip with Jeff Brazda and let it fill your soul the way it did mine!!"   --Mike Sweeney Seattle Mariners, 5 Time MLB All Star

"Jeff, it's been my good fortune to fish with many excellent fly fishing guides for both trout and steelhead.  Let me say that none is better than you.  Your knowledge of the water, the fish, and the positioning of casts for most effectiveness are all absolutely top flight.  And your boundless enthusiasm and good humor are a great plus. We fly fishermen fish because there's much more to fishing than just the catching of fish. It's the total experience in being in beautiful places, casting, one hopes, a drag-free drift, and completely losing oneself in the whole of it.  It's always a rewarding time fishing with you. I look forward to many more trips together." --John Narver

"Brother, I just wanted to say "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart for being my guide, and my mentor. BAR NONE, NO EXCEPTIONS, I have never met a guide/fisherman that worked harder, was more generous with the knowledge, or was more patient.  I have fly fished all my life, and with plenty of guides and have only recently started to fish for Steelhead.  I asked you to "teach me, and be patient" and you delivered with a capital D.  I have never learned more about fishing than in the time I spent with you.  My confidence level has improved, my casting has improved, most importantly my ability to to read the water has increased, all because of your gracious tutelage.  I purposely didn't bring my wife because steelheading can be pretty "hardcore" and the guides can be pretty gruff.  I'll bring her next time, and I know that you will get her into fish.  WHO CAN SAY THAT?????  As you know, I work for a HR department and the department motto is " looking for scary smart individuals who are also really cool ".  You said you were just "really scary".  Trust me brother, we take this motto very seriously,  and you are the kind of guy we are looking for.  Dedicated to your profession, high work ethic, no ego, and yes, scary smart and also really cool.
