If you’re thinking about booking a guided fishing trip, do yourself a favor and go with Captain Ron. We had an absolute blast. Ended the day with 29 smallmouth bass—yes, 29. It should have been 30, but my 12-year-old decided that was the exact moment to forget everything he knows about setting the hook, so we’ll be addressing that at home. Captain Ron was the real deal—friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. And I mean patient. He worked with my son so well that I didn’t have to switch into “dad mode” once. I got to actually relax, fish, and enjoy the day instead of coaching every cast and untangling every mess. He knew exactly where to go, what to throw, and how to keep things moving so we were catching fish consistently. No wasted time, no guesswork—just steady action and a great experience start to finish. 10/10 trip. Great fishing, great guide, and a memory my son and I will have forever especially fish #30). We’ll definitely be back.
Thanks Brad! Really enjoyed having both you and your son out for the day. Leaving the teaching and coaching up to your guide so both of you can just fish and enjoy the day is whats its all about. I look forward to fishing with yall again.
My first time river fishing. Captain Ron put me on the fish and provided guidance on technique. Caught a lot of smallmouth and had a great shore lunch. Will book again when I'm back in the area.
Amazing Captain both as a person and a guide. Genuinely had a great time hanging out with him today and we caught a ton of fish. 4 different species.
My guide was great. Very knowledgeable. He made the trip one of the best I’ve ever taken.

Your captain
Captain Ron grew up in NW Ohio fishing Lake Erie and the Maumee River. Ron picked up his first fly rod in 2008 after moving to Kentucky and hasn't looked back since. Ron took his first guided trip as a client in 2016 and fell in love with the experience that spending a full day floating down a river can bring. Ron got his first fishing raft in 2021 and has worked to provide that same experience for everyone who has spent the day floating with him.
