    Fabulous fishing experience on the river!

    Full Day Trip on October 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    My son and I had a terrific trip with Captain Tommy! We had never done a trip on a river before and will definitely do it again. Captain Tommy got us set up and we caught a bunch of smallmouth bass literally over 20 fish on a beautiful sunny, high barometric pressure day, which as most people know is not ideal for catching fish. He he gave us a number of practical tips, he knew the new River like the back of his hand, andset everything up very well. Lunch was included and the Captain did a nice job with that as well. All in all he helped us us make some great memories out on the water! I would recommend this trip to people new to fishing as well as the advanced angler and really anyone who loves the great outdoors and fishing!

    Awesome fishing on the river.

    Full Day Trip on October 23, 2026 • 1 adult

    Had a great time fishing on the river. Tommy was awesome and put us on the fish immediately. Helped me with my lure technique and understanding the river. Caught tons of fish, great scenery, floating down the river was a blast.

    Tommy was amazing

    Full Day Trip on May 16, 2025 • 2 adults

    First Time on the River… and It Was One for the Books I’ve been fishing most my life—but never on a river. So this trip meant something different. Something new. But what made it unforgettable wasn’t just the fish—it was who we fished with. Captain Tommy didn’t sugarcoat it. He told us from the jump—it might be tough fishing. He wasn’t trying to sell us a dream. He was honest, and that’s rare these days. But here’s the part that really got me: Tommy didn’t just guide us. He shared stories. He laughed with us. He taught us. He was patient. Real patient. Especially with me and my boy who’d never touched river water with a rod in hand. And man… he worked. No shortcuts. No coasting. He gave us everything he had. And it paid off. We landed our first smallmouth bass. Together. As a dad, that moment hit different. It wasn’t just about catching fish. It was about creating a memory that my son and I will talk about for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a captain who’s not just going to take your money but actually cares about giving you an experience—you found your guy. Captain Tommy. Thank you. You gave me more than a day on the water—you gave me a moment with my son I’ll never forget

    Full Day trip on the New River.

    Full Day Trip on October 9, 2022 • 2 adults

    Highly recommend. I caught a 17.5 inch smallmouth bass. My wife and I caught about 15 other nice small mouth bass as well. Lunch was delicious, cold cut sandwiches, salad, potato salad and chips. Guide is very friendly and knowledgeable.

    Perfect day

    Half Day Trip on August 31, 2019 • 2 adults

    We started the day with a beautiful view of the mountains covered with fog. We started fishing right away. My son caught the first fish and that made his day. On and on we all caught fish not as many as we wanted but the bites were there. The water clear and Tommy was the nicest and patient guide for my autistic son. I will definitely use his services again.
