- Year-round guided fly-fishing trips on the Lower Mountain Fork River
- We discovered the Lower Mountain Fork River in 2007 after fly fishing from Banff Canada to the Appalachians. Using flies tied to the entomology of the river, with the least amount of polluting materials helps to leave the river the way it was when we stepped in to fly fish. We are local business owners and have a stake in keeping the river ecologically sound.
