Testimonials

I did my guided trip September 13 with Tony and it could not have been better. Tony was informative, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. He is a huge asset to your guide service. I can honestly say that if I speak to anybody interested in doing a guided trout trip, I will recommend your company without hesitation. Thank you so much for such a great experience.

Best regards, Bill S.

I wanted to drop a quick note to say how impressed I was with Tony’s guide service … He had me on fish all day (at least a dozen in the net and likely another 20 hookups). More impressive was his casting instruction and help with finding spots to hit.  I improved my roll cast dramatically that morning — something that will benefit me for a long time to come. 

Best, Chris T

My son and I had a great experience with Chris. Weather was a bit dicey in the beginning.. but we had come all that way and really wanted to learn It turned out great and we managed to catch three trout and a bunch of bites. Chris was excellent and we couldn’t ask for a friendlier, more personable, or more knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed everything.Thanks for a memorable adventure. We’re heading to the fly shop to look at some gear. You will probably see us again (you’ve been warned).

April and I had an excellent time. Tony was very accommodating and patient. April said that his instruction was spot on and not too pushy. Tony is an excellent guide and I will be recommending your services to family and friends.

Hey Starr, We really enjoyed our time with you and helping us and teaching.  We had a blast! Though I am still getting busted about it!  Looking forward to coming back sometime and do it again.  Looking forward to seeing the brook trout pic! We hope your holidays are awesome and the fish are biting!

Starr, I wanted to Thank You for a great time on the 22nd. My Customer was very pleased with the trip.. Both Bill and Jean are anxiously waiting (for the photos). There seems to be some confusion on Bill’s part on how many fish Jean caught. HA! Thanks again.

Tony (and Starr):I’ve been meaning to email you since our day in Cherokee. We both had a great time and learned a lot. I only wish I remembered half of it. Guess we’ll have to make another trip and spend another day with you next year.Thanks again. We’ll be in touch when we are planning our next trip to the area.

Cheers, Tom

Starr, Just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous fishing trip with Rick Wedell last Friday..  He was a wonderful guide, very patient, professional and informative.
We may have acquired trout fever!  Hopefully we can make a future date with him and be better anglers.  Please let him know how much we enjoyed the trip and look 
forward to our next fishing adventure in the beautiful NC mountains.
