Reviews
"While vacationing in North Carolina, we booked a fishing trip with Fontana Guides and it was the best decision we made. Captain James made our trip unforgettable that was filled with fishing, swimming and cruising on the beautiful Fontana Lake with backdrop views of the Smokey Mountains. The boat was well-kept, family friendly and spacious. Captain James was truly wonderful - starting from the point when he helped our daughter reel in the first catch, to providing short history about the national park, rivers and wildlife. I don’t need to say much except that we had such a great time the first day that we decided to book a second day. If you’re looking to experience the real immersion into nature in the presence of a professional and experienced team then don’t hesitate for a second and book Fontana Guides. You won’t regret it!"
"Captain Kyle made our trip unforgettable! His knowledge and expertise ensured we had an amazing day on the water. Thanks to his guidance, we caught an impressive and unexpected 8 lb catfish and couple good size bass, and we are truly grateful for his exceptional service and professionalism. Thank you, Captain Kyle!"
"Fantastic Day on Lake Fontana with Captain Kyle! What a great day. The four of us caught 30 bass on a morning trip, several which were very nice size fish! Kyle was awesome, very laid back, informative and attentive. We will be back again and would definitely recommend Kyle to anyone searching for a high quality guide."
"Best guide service ever!!! Thank you Kyle for giving us the best experience on Fontana Lake. Todd and I wanted you to know that we had an amazing day catching fish and your service comes highly recommended. You are truly a great guide. Thanks Vickie and Todd"
"Best trip ever! Kyle was great and got us all set up over the phone. It was super easy and hassle free to book. Thomas was our guide, and he was amazing! The trip was great. Weather was perfect, and Thomas made sure that my 8 year old son was enjoying himself. Thomas was so knowledgeable about the area and the waters. He knew where the fish were and made this trip the best ever! My son was so happy catching some nice size brown trout and also the smaller rainbows. I couldn't have asked for anything better! We will be back!"
