Brown Trout Fly Fishing Watauga River Review

Brown Trout Fly Fishing Review from Orvis Reviews

"A long time friend recommended Brown. I found Brown to be a very well mannered, clean cut, professional young man. His first concern was safety on the river. His second was customer satisfaction. My son brought his own fly rod and tried some of Brown's. I appreciated his advising us against wasting a bunch of money on flies before we got there that likely wouldn't work. Through experience he correctly showed us what did work (saved us money and frustration). His boat was very comfortable and stable. He packed a very nice lunch for us and set up a table and chairs beside the river for a meal in the cool shade with a most wonderful view. He provided a cooler full of cold drinks for us.

Most important Brown knew how to catch fish and showed my 13 year old son and I how to catch fish. He was very patient with constant tangles produced by both of us. We learned much about the habitat, biology, and history of different species of trout and other fish in the river.

In the past we've used "guides" that had no business calling themselves guides. Brown was different. He is not a "cowboy". He is a professional that anyone can feel good introducing their young children to. I highly recommend Brown to anyone."

Brown Trout Fly Fishing Float Trip Review

Brown Trout Fly Fishing Customer Review from Orvis Reviews

"I have been fishing with Brown twice and have been more than impressed on both trips. I was excited to have a guide close to my age, mid-twenties, who had enough experience to teach a novice. The first trip I booked was with my younger brother. We both required extensive instruction and he never lost patience. It was a very successful fishing trip and the conversation came easily. He was able to relate to my younger brother in college and never missed a beat. I took my 83 year old grandfather on the second trip and don't think it could have gone any better. We again hit the fish pretty hard. My grandfather has been flyfishing for a while and did not need the same instruction I did. Brown did a good job of handling two different stages of fishermen on the boat. My grandfather was most impressed with Brown's knowledge of the river and surrounding areas. He graduated from Sewanee with a background in geology and environmental studies. It was pretty cool to learn more about the river we were fishing! I definitely recommend booking through him and will certainly be going back. He even keeps a blog with current fishing conditions on his website!"
