Float Trip for Trout
River Wizard Co. • 10-19 years of experience
About
Float trips are some of the most fun one can have on the river. Avoid tricky wading, cover a ton of water, and enjoy the scenery. The Tuckaseegee River and French Broad River are our primary destinations to float. These trips are seasonal and are dependent on rainfall as well as scheduled releases from hyrdroeletric dams. Trout season typically runs from early October to the end of May, and smallmouth bass season runs from June to the end of September. We practice catch and release on these sections of river.

River Wizard Company founder Capt. Harrison Beckwith is a part time fly and light tackle guide in his hometown, Clemson, SC, for striped bass, trout, small mouth bass, and carp. Harrison started guiding in 2010 for Brookings Anglers in Cashiers, NC and spent the next 10 years guiding full time in western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina. A job opportunity in sales and marketing at Barker Boatworks took Harrison to Sarasota, FL in 2020. He returned to Clemson, SC in 2023 and now serves as the Outdoor Pursuits Specialist for The Reserve at Lake Keowee, guides part time, and works as a free lance photographer specializing in outdoor marketing and editorial photography. Harrison currently offers fly and light tackle trips on the lakes of upstate, SC for stripers, bass, and carp. He also spends a large portion of his time guiding for trout and small mouth bass in the mountains of North Carolina. Harrison fishes out of a Maverick HPX 18 on the lakes which allows two fly anglers to fish at a time. Float trips for trout and small mouth bass, private water wade trips for trophy trout, and back country trips for wild trout are also available. Harrison also hosts destination fly fishing trips to Andros for bonefish, permit, and tarpon as well as Argentina for trout and golden dorado.
