Guide Trips

Every guided fly fishing trip is a lesson, and you should expect to learn, as well as catch fish. Not every person has the same abilities so every trip is designed to improve your skills whether you’re a long time angler or just beginning your journey into fly fishing. All trips begin with a phone call from your trout fly fishing guide in Western NC, to discuss your skills and your wants out of the trip. The guide will setup a trip based on your needs and you’ll find the best meeting spot for your trip. Once on the water you’ll go over basic casting, hooking and landing and other procedures for the day, then with your guide you’ll start working on the water. At the end of the guided fly fishing trip, pictures and high fives will be exchanged, and away you’ll go with some great knowledge from a fun day on the water.
