Welcome to AB's Fly Fishing Guide Service

Located in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina, we have some of the most picturesque trout waters East of the Mississippi River. With a large concentration of rainbow, brown and brook trout, the opportunity exists daily to achieve the fly-fishing grand slam - catching all three species in the same day.

Fishing has been a life-long passion of mine. So, after retiring from a 30-year career in public education, I decided to share my passion and knowledge of fly fishing with others.

My guide services accommodate the serious angler, as well as the beginner. So whether you've fished for years or never had a fly rod in your hand, get in touch and plan a trip. 

In early 2009, I was fortunate to be asked to help develop the Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Trail. Located right here in beautiful Jackson County, the trail features 15 prime spots for fly fishing. It is the only fly fishing trail in the country!
