A knowledgeable, passionate, and perceptive guide for an unforgettable adventure through Bath County and its stunning rivers! We took paths less travelled to secret spots with pristine waters - finding exactly where the fish are. You don’t need to be an expert angler, but if you are, Matt can take you as far as you want to go….and if the fishing is really good, as long as you want to go!

This was my second trip with Matt and he never disappoints. He is tremendously professional and has so much knowledge to share about fly fishing and nature. We'll certainly book with him again and I recommend him to anyone I know traveling to the area.

Matt is a great guide. Put me on some excellent private water. Caught more than 15 in a morning wade. Great job of assisting me without being pushy. Also a great guy to talk with and get to know. I highly recommend Matt.

Matt is terrific. He knows the territory and very committed to offering the best fishing experience. Highly recommended.

We had a great time with Mathew. He spent a lot of the time untangling and unsnaging our lines but we caught fish and that was our goal. I highly recommend Mathew for your next fly fishing trip.

Matthew was outstanding! Gave good, timely advice and was always focused on the best strategy for catching fish. The conversations were great and enjoyed a very nice lunch. Can't say enough great things about my experience!

Wonderful. Great instructor!

Knowledgeable as well as his expertise in fly- fishing. Very patient and great personality. I highly recommend him as an instructor and his knowledge of the best fishing areas in south western VA

Matt was fantastic. He spent the day with my 9 yo and me. It was our first time fly fishing and we caught many fish and spent the whole day out. He was thoughtful with his instructions and got us casting on our own and informed about the flies and the water column and so much more. Can’t wait to go again.

Very knowledgeable and dedicated guide. He genuinely cares about delivering a great experience.

Spent a full day floating and fishing with Matt on the Jackson River. Matt is an exceptional guide with tons of experience and knows the river like the back of his hand. Already looking forward to my next visit to the area so I can fish with Matt again!

I had a fantastic time floating the Jackson in Virginia with Matt. Matt knows the river well, where fish should be holding and works hard to dial in the fly selection and rigging for success with the fish. Five stars!

Matt is an excellent guide! This was my second time fishing with him and my first time fly fishing on a float. It was the perfect combination of fun, relaxation and enjoyment of nature. I learned so much, developed my skills, and simply loved the paradise that is the lower Jackson and all the wildlife and plants that inhabit it. Thank you Matt! I can't wait to get back out there.

Matt was punctual and very helpful. Just as importantly, a wealth of knowledge and put me on some fantastic fish! I will book with him again, if he will have me!!

Matt is a terrific guide! Courteous, very knowledgeable, knows flies, knots, casting techniques and where the fish are. If you want a great professional guide who is an excellent teacher and fun to fish with, Matt is your man.

I have had the pleasure of fishing with Matt over 20 times in the past 5 years. Matt introduced me to a variety of water and consistently demonstrates what a great fishery exists in the extended Hot Springs area. I have fished throughout the United States and beyond and I can unequivocally say that a day with Matt is always a great time and always includes BIG fish!
