A TRUE STORY:
Fog’s on the water, spiderwebs with dew,
carolina blue skies with a fall attitude.
Ol’ Leroy brown trout was hiding near the bank.
Mr. Wiz saw him last week and made a deposit in the memory bank.
Next time out he knew just what to do, slap on a frenchie and a soft tackle too.
Leroy ate when the time came to eat,
and the Wiz was sure to tell his client,
“KEEP THE LINE AWAY FROM YOUR FEET.”
With beginners in the boat the Wiz had to talk fast,
there was a rapid coming that we all call last chance.
It was too late and the chase had begun.
The Wiz kicked the boat in gear and yelled “ROD. TIP. UP!”
Down the rapid, between the trees,
they made it through
to the other guide’s disbelief.
Three cheers for the Wiz and Leroy Brown,
and the client in the front who couldn’t believe,
THAT just went down.
Anchor down, eddied out, net is out,
“okay let’s get this guy in the boat.”
Here comes Ol’ Leroy,
the star of the show.
He knows everybody loves him
and just wants to get a photo.
One jump, two jump, three jumps.
One rapid, ledge ledge ledge.
Second rapid, two trees, ledge ledge.
An epic tug of war that lasted 15 minutes
This is what we do,
This is our business.

The video we did last year "A trip into the wild", which features Smallmouth Bass Fly Fishing, Overnight Trips with Safari Camp and Whitewater option, has recently been featured by R.L. Winston Rod Co., Dun Magazine, the Angler Report and Moldychum.com. Check it out!
Special thanks to producer Josh Branstetter and all those involved!
If you are interested in this experience, we are now booking mid-June through mid-October 2018. You can read more info on this experience by clicking here.
These trips are not geared toward whitewater like a whitewater rafting trip.
We venture into these class III & IV waters to target the big,
aggressive Smallmouth Bass that live within.
Trips are full day floats with a two boat minimum.
Multi-day trips with Safari Camp are available.
All guides are River Rescue 3 International &
ACA Level 4 Swiftwater Rescue certified and fully insured.
Spring weather has been like a roller coaster. Never the less, the spring fishing for both Trout and Smallmouth Bass has been excellent. The following pictures are from recent trips...
