Raleigh Flyfishing

My friend and I fished the Cape Fear River for Spotted Bass on November 13th and had an outstanding day. EJ is an excellent guide with an incredible understanding of the river and the fish you can expect to find. The equipment provided is excellent and we had a great day on the water catching lots of Spotted Bass, a huge Blue Gill and a beautiful Yellow Perch. Thanks EJ for a great day!

Beautiful location (Cape Fear River) with enough fish to keep things interesting! My guide (Rhen Bumgardner) was excellent…he knows his stuff inside and out makes for a great fishing companion. Highly recommended!!

A buddy and I fished the Cape Fear with Rhen. We had a blast! I am a novice fly angler and my buddy had never tried it before. Rhen was an excellent coach and guide, by the end of the day we looked like we knew what we were doing and caught a dozen or so fish each.

Great experience with Rhen on the Smith River for a half day float trip. He was super patient with myself and my 9 year old son, we caught some beautiful fish, and he took the time to coach us in some key fundamentals and worked with me to break a couple of bad habits. Would 100% recommend for both seasoned and beginning anglers alike. Looking forward to booking another trip in the spring.

EJ is a very knowledgeable and enjoyable guide to go fishing with. We caught a lot of fish and I will definitely book another trip with him.

Purchased two guided river fishing trips for myself and clients. EJ and his team were awesome host/guides. They provided all necessary equipment, lunch and fishing expertise. This was my first time ever fly fishing but with EJs instruction I was able to pick it up pretty quickly and caught around 12-15 fish alone!!! Can’t recommend this guide enough and I will certainly be back in the future!
