I recently had the pleasure of spending a day on the Cape Fear River with Rhen, an exceptional fly fishing guide, and I can't recommend him highly enough! As a beginner, I was nervous about my skills and knowledge, but Rhen's expertise and passion for fishing made all the difference. Rhen was welcoming and patient, taking the time to explain the basics of fly fishing while providing valuable tips tailored to my skill level. His enthusiasm for the sport was infectious, and he clearly loves what he does. Throughout our float, he shared his extensive knowledge about the river, its ecosystem, and the best techniques for catching various fish. Not only did Rhen ensure that I had a successful day on the water, but he also fostered a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. He encouraged me every step of the way, celebrating my successes and helping me learn from my mistakes. By the end of the day, I felt more confident in my abilities and left with a deeper appreciation for fly fishing.

EJ was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, patient and energetic all rolled into one. Highly recommend!

Again a great trip! Learned how to mend much better this trip. I will return every year at least once.

EJ was an amazing guide! He knows the water you're fishing like the back of his hand. He was super patient with me as I'm very new to fly fishing, but came out of this experience with knowledge to be a lot more confident on my home waters, no matter the species I intend to catch. EJ brought a delicious, home-made sandwich along for lunch and kept me hydrated throughout the day. We ended up landing a bunch of fish and had a great day on the water. Thanks EJ!

Excellent day with Rhen. Learned a couple of new mending techniques.

Excellent day with Rhen on the water!

Great time with EJ. Caught native browns and a few rainbows. He was knowledgeable about the river and what flies to use. Caught several on dries which is always a blast. Recommend always.

Not a lot of fish, but every attempt was made by our guide. Still a fantastic day on the water.

We had such a great time. The guides were so patient and made the trip fun for the whole family!
