E.J. Stern knows the fish and the environment. He was our guide on the Smith River near Bassett, VA this past May. My husband and I had not previously fished there. It was sublime fishing with next-level guiding instruction, picturesque scenery, E.J.’s willingness to share knowledge, and great fun. Even our lunch was a gourmet meal! Whatever your level of skill, do yourselves a favor and book a two-day float trip with E.J. and his Smith River Outfitters. You will come away with new skills/techniques, knowledge, and a deeper appreciation for fly fishing.

Second time with Raleigh Fly Fishing and another great experience. We caught lots of fish, including trophy-sized bass. Our guides, Justin and Ren, were terrific and helpful. The instruction was first-class and tailored to our individual needs.

If you’ve never fished with EJ, stop reading this and go book yourself a trip. Or gift one to your people who are intrigued. Just know you won’t stop with just one trip, it’s too fun/good not to keep going back!

Thoroughly enjoyable day on Smith River with Ej ~ caught a lot of beautiful trout ~ learned a lot and he showed tremendous patience with my brother in law and nephew during their first time on water. Could not recommend more highly 😎

Great experience with Raleigh Fly Fishing on the Smith. Guides were knowledgeable, enjoyable, and worked hard to provide our group the best experience, even with some rain. We will be back for sure. JP
