REVIEWS

After meeting John at the stream we headed out on the hunt. His extensive knowledge of the water and wildlife was impressive and his level of patience with me even more so. Not only did I catch several brookies and a rainbow that we put safely back, I made a friend and memories for life to take with me. I highly recommend going out with John and look forward to my next trip with him as well.

John was lots of help with teaching us how to cast more accurately and also told us we’re to cast.

John was really knowledgeable about the streams that we fished and about how and what to use to be successful. He was very patient and genuinely liked to teach me how to fish better. I will be fishing with him again!

JOHN GIBSON

I’ve been an avid fisherman my whole life, where I grew up fishing the waters of southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia. I started fly fishing as a student of Mike Smith who runs New River Fly Fishing, and also working with guides with the Taos Fly Shop out of Taos, New Mexico. I pride myself on being a very balanced fly fisherman, whether that be dry fly fishing, euro and indicator nymphing, or streamer fishing, I can help you maximize the time on the water.
