Hunt Fish with an Experienced Fishing Guide

I am Stratton Hunter, owner of WNC Fish Hunter. Thank you for visiting our website!

We are a fishing guide service specializing in tailored fishing experiences in the waters near Brevard, NC (French Broad River, Davidson River, East Fork, Mills River, and others). I am a Western NC native focused on helping clients to catch wily Trout and elusive Musky. Wading streams or fishing from a jet-boat, all options are open to chase the fish you’d like to catch. Whether you’re new to fishing or a seasoned-pro, let me know what you're looking to do and we’ll tailor a plan specifically for you. Fly fishing or conventional tackle - all are welcome.

Western North Carolina Fish

Our fish thrive in some of the cleanest streams in the country (there’s a reason why we have close to a 100 breweries here). We have various fish species attracted to a multitude of dining options that change throughout the year and constantly requiring a unique approach. Whether fishing for a stunning 6” native Brook Trout or a 50” monster Musky, techniques differ but the payoff is always rewarding!

Tailored for you!

So, what are you up for? Go into the backcountry and catch wild Trout? Wade some of the larger streams that are hatchery supported or designated delayed-harvest for stocked fish? How about we take the jet-boat out to chase Musky?
