I am Stratton Hunter, thank you for visiting our website! We were voted #2 in USA TODAY 10Best Fly Fishing Guides for 2026.
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 native of Asheville who's fished in waters across the globe. We currently focus on helping clients to catch wily Trout and elusive Musky. 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 are welcome.
Western North Carolina Fishing
Our fish thrive in some of the cleanest streams in the country. 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!
We can fish hatchery-suppored waters or backcountry for Trout, or float on the jet-boat for Musky. We welcome anglers of all experience levels. We are supportive of fly fishing or conventional tackle. Your fun is our focus!
