Great Experience
Half Day Trip (PM) on May 16, 20261 adult

The Caney Fork is beautiful. Go in the morning when it’s quiet, the wildlife is active, and its just you and the river. Brian is a great fly fishing teacher, very patient with inexperienced anglers. He knows where the fish are, and will do his best to tech you how to catch them.

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 27, 20242 adults

Man this was such a great trip. Captain Brian reached out to me the week of our trip. He was there bright and early with everything ready to go. He brought drinks, snacks, extra gear for me to use/try out if mine wasn’t getting it done. But boy oh boy does this man know how to get you on the fish. Right away we were landing good size rainbow and brown trout. He gave me plenty of pointers and made sure I was getting my monies worth out of this trip. I will definitely be booking with him again in the near future! I feel like a made a new good fishing friend today! Thanks Brain!

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 17, 20231 adult

Brian picked me up at 5:30am and after a one hour drive we entered the water in a wonderful foggy morning. What a scenery When sun came out, eating the fog it was a gorgeous morning with active fishes. Water was high but very Dushanbe. We caught 3 rainbows , released them again as we continue to travel further south When you are around Nashville give Brian a shout. You can’t get a better or more experienced guide and he is a great company too Thanks Capt‘n Brian. I might be back. Siegfried

The trip was outstanding. My youngest son and I went out on Caney Fork with Brian. We were both rookies and wanted to learn how to fly fish. Brian is extremely knowledgeable and has a ton of experience. He was a great teacher and was patient with our rookie mistakes. We caught a lot of Rainbow Trout and had a blast. Brian communicated very well in preparation of the trip and searched for best places to go for the best conditions. He has many options and knows the areas to go very well. Awesome trip.
