I am an avid sportsman, born and raised right here in the mountains of western North Carolina. I have been fishing trout and bass since I was a young child. I had my first fly rod before I was 10 and was catching native brookies in the park before most kids got their first Nintendo. The outdoors has been a passion of mine since birth.

I have recently restructured my professional career to pursue my passion as a full-time career. I own a locally operated guide service that offers fishing, backpacking, and hiking trips. What sets me apart from my competitors is my native knowledge of the area and rivers as well as my lengthy experiences as a professional rafting guide. I have logged over 1000 commercial whitewater rafting trips locally for an outfitter and never had any accidents, injuries, or bad reviews.

I pride myself on safety and catching your dream fish, be it a native Brookie that has never met a human before, a trophy Brown, or an overnight/multiday trip into one of the most scenic gorges in the country. My whitewater experience allows me to take you into some of the most remote gorges on the East Coast. Let's go catch a monster and build memories.

Please feel free to reach out to me below with any questions or if you don't see a trip you would like to take listed here, I'll put it together for you. Im licensed and insured to operate in NC & TN.

Capt. Evan
Full Day Trip – Brook Trout Wading on July 7, 20252 adults
Evan, was straight forward telling us that the chances of catching any trout were low due to the Hurricane and time of year. He was very patient helping myself and my wife how to fly fish. He also told us about some great places to view some local waterfalls. Although we didn’t catch any fish it was still worth it to spend the day on the water. Will definitely book a trip with Evan on our next visit to Asheville!

Tough go of it in Asheville
Full Day Trip – Float on June 5, 20252 adults
Fishing was tough, but we were able to learn to fly fish, which my son thoroughly enjoyed. We were unable to fish the rivers due to the devastation from Hurricane Helene last summer. We did find a hidden gym of a secluded lake up in the mountains though. Evan was great and his knowledge of the area are probably unmatched.

Evan is a great captain!!!
Full Day Trip – Float on August 12, 20242 adults
I fished with Evan for 3 days and he was fantastic. We always caught numerous fish and he was very knowledgeable about the river. He was patient and kind even when we kept getting snagged on the bedrock in the river. The most important thing was that as a woman he was willing to take me out fishing. I tried numerous companies and they did not seem to be interested in taking a women fishing. So ladies if you want to go fishing I would 100% recommend Evan. He will make sure you catch fish and feel safe. When I go back to Asheville I am booking with Evan again!

Full Day Trip – Brook Trout Wading on July 23, 20242 adults
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and guide. Evan was so patient and knowledgeable. Thoughtful with his preparations to accommodate the day. My son couldn’t stop thanking me all evening, with Evans assistance he helped my boy land 10 trout, and a few different species of them was icing on the cake. We will come back to Asheville and when we do i would definitely look at working with him again. Thanks for everything!
