Our guides are passionate about Western North Carolina’s mountains and the water systems that encompass our area. Our guides are also very courteous and patient and will walk you through techniques and tricks for fly fishing in our backcountry rivers. If you would like your guide to teach you specific fishing techniques, or if you would like to focus on one type of fishing rather than another, let your guide know before your trip – this will allow proper preparation ahead of time.
