We had an amazing trip with Blue Ridge Troutfitters! From the very start, communication was top-notch — Zach made everything easy and smooth leading up to the trip. But the real highlight was our guide, Joe Pickett. Joe was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the river and the fish, but also one of the most personable and engaging guides we’ve ever had. We caught a ton of fish, but just as importantly, we walked away better fly fishermen. Joe took the time to explain techniques,... More

My 13 year old son and I had a great trip on the river with Zach.  He was super friendly, very educational, highly patient, and great fun to spend half a day with.  Will definitely recommend to anyone and look forward to more trips with Zach in the future.

Had a great day on the water, took my son for a half day of fly fishing.  Communication with our guide was easy and was super flexible on starting time.  Jason was great with his instruction with two novice fly fishermen and filled the time with fun stories and conversation.

If you really want a good guide with lots of skills, perfect equipment, patience and a good sense of humor to make your fishing trip a perfect experience : don’t look further! We didn’t had the best weather conditions for trout fishing but with the guidance of Zach we (me and my 8 year old son) still caught 32 fish together on a full day float trip! Most of them were trout!

The older we get, the more we want to create memories and this was a top one for us. This fishing trip was so peaceful and relaxing even though we were brand new to fly fishing. Our guide Zach had such an easy approach to teaching. It was the perfect start to our vacation. Thank you for an unforgettable day on the river!
