Foothills Trout
A great trip for beginners, intermediate fishermen, or traveling anglers who need to wet a line between meetings.  Travel time varies between 1 to 2 hours from the triad and the earliest departure is 6:30 am.  Fishermen have opportunities to land 10-50 trout per day with minimal hiking.  Recommended months are October - May.
Locations:  Stone Mtn. State Park, Mitchell River, Helton Creek, Dan River (VA/NC), South Mountains State Park, others

Wild Mountain Trout
This is small creek fishing, generally with dry flies.  Expect lots of quick "hits" with a 50% hookup rate as the fish are faster than most human reflexes.  Wild trout generally range from 6-10 inches in size, but occasional 12"-14" fish are not unheard of.  Casting is often very limited and crouching is necessary to avoid spooking fish.  Fishermen should be able to walk 2-3 miles over moderate terrain.  Maximum of 2 anglers.  Recommended season from May until October.
Locations:  Parkway waters in NC & VA, Wilson Creek, Jefferson Nat'l Forest, many others that will remain unmentioned for fear of overfishing.

Backcountry Trout
Essentially the same trip as above, but this version includes additional hiking plus at least one night of overnight stay.  Located in wilderness areas or national parks.  Travel time varies between 1.5 and 3 hours from the triad.  Trout are generally more numerous and larger than average.
Locations:  Great Smokies, Jefferson Nat'l Forest, NC Parkway waters

Tailwater Floats
Fly fishing from drift boat or raft on the several beautiful tailwaters.  Meet us in western NC or eastern TN.  High variety of tactics utilized depending on season, daily water levels, and current hatches.  Magnificent views of moutainous countryside while covering a large amount of water.  Trophy (>20") rainbows and brown trout possible or choose to catch high numbers of 14-16" trout.  A first-class trip for any angler, but longer casting and some mending will prove beneficial.  Many customers repeat this trip year after year.
Locations: Watuaga River (TN), South Holston River (TN), Catawba River (NC), Dan River (NC/VA)

Tailwater Wade Trip
Though much more water can be covered by boat, wade-fishing has the advantage of giving anglers the opportunity to target specific fish that are rising.  Since we normally run this trip when generation is low or absent, there is less crowding around the "good spots" when wading.  Half-day trips are also possible.

Locations: Dan River (VA), Smith River (VA), Holston (TN)

Smallmouth Float Trips
A very active trip combining lots of casting with lots of smallies!  Great for two anglers who love to compete because there are fish everywhere.  Tactics include dead-drifting terrestrials, stripping large streamers, and working poppers.  Recommended between June and September.
Locations:  New River (VA), Nolichucky (TN), Holston Proper (TN), the Dan River (NC/VA), and the Uwharrie River (NC).

Local Warmwater
Half-day trips are great for anglers needing a "cabin-fever" cure and can be executed from shore or from boat.  Water may include larger lakes or large private ponds at the guide's discretion.  Full day trips are generally taken by boat in order to cover more water.  Target species include largemouth bass, bluegill, redbreast sunfish, crappie, or bodie bass.  Spring and fall months are best depending on water temperatures.  Summertime fishing is generally best in morning and evenings.
Location:  Mostly private lakes, but we also fish Jordan, Shearon Harris, Badin & others.

Sightcasting Flats Carp
Also called "Carolina bonefish", these fish are gaining worldwide popularity as a sportfish.  This trip is very demanding to fly casters, requiring precision casts to cruising or tailing fish.  Common carp are notorious for being picky as well as for being very spooky.  Generally, we fish 11' leaders and are targeting specific fish.  Not recommended on windy days.   This is a great practice trip for anglers preparing for bonefish, permit, or tailing redfish.
Location:  Private lakes, Falls of the Neuse, Umstead State Park, Lake Townsend

Longnose-Gar NEW!
A very unique trip that we're proud to specialize in!  This is a wade-only trip with a high number of opportunities.  But, be warned, these are primitive, highly efficient predators.  Due to their feeding behavior and size, landing these beasts takes more than a few turns of the reel.   Plan for a "hot" day of fishing in terms of temperature and fighting fish.  Nerve-racking follows, quick hits, and thin error margins make for some heart-stopping moments.  Some specimens as large as 4 feet long.  Recommended for July, August, and early September. 
Location:  The "Horseshoe" River and that's your only hint.

Spring-Run White Bass
A very narrow timeline fishery with outstanding numbers of tough fish.  Fishing medium sized piedmont creeks and small rivers for schools of white bass or hybrids.  This species fights hard for it's size and the strikes are unmistakable.  Depending on local populations, this is one trip where we commonly encourage keeping a few, because they are delicious.  Trips only offered for a few weeks in late March through mid-April, so you should ask to be on the "call me first" list beforehand.
