Testimonial

“After several unsuccessful years of trying to break into saltwater fly fishing, I decided to get help.  Being a novice, I needed a guide who had the patience to help with technique and put me on fish.  Richard helped me with both and also shared his knowledge of equipment, knots, tackle, fishing techniques, and local history.  Richard has guided trips from the Chesapeake Bay, to North Carolina, Florida, and Guatemala where I have landed Striped Bass, Snook, Jack Crevale, False Albacore, and Sailfish on the fly rod.  Richard tops my list of guides and his easy going style and mastery of light-tackle fishing has enriched my fishing experience and made me a repeat customer.”
