Chetola Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Guide Service 185 Chetola Lake Drive, Blowing Rock, NC 28605

"Dec. 29th 2023 We had the best time with Dustin Coffey out of Chetola's Orvis in Blowing rock, NC!! Dustin's instruction, time management, attitude, and fun spirit made this day the absolute best! We caught browns, rainbows and brook trout. My take away from the day was not only the big fish we continued to catch but the way he gave instruction. His analogies and simply teaching style will stick with me on the next river for sure! THANKS DUSTIN!"

"Had an amazing trip with our guide Quinn Culler. He not only taught my son and I how to fly fish, but he also changed the flies and the location frequently to maximize the bite. He was more than patient and super informative. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have a great fly fishing experience."

"Fabulous day fly fishing with Dustin Coffey. He is a wonderful teacher and we both always learn so much from him! Not to mention putting us on some beautiful trout. Dustin is one of the most dedicated, compassionate, attentive, conservation minded, fun guides we have used. He is one of our must “go to” guides… as he never disappoints! Just a great fly fishing advocate. Don’t miss fishing with this gem if you are at Chetola. We are already looking forward to next year. And we have already fished with him for several years. My husband is convinced he should write a book with all of his colloquialisms!!! And we enjoying renting a condo and staying at Chetola for the week. Dustin should be put up for Orvis Guide of the year!"

"Booked a trip to Chetola’s private waters on the Watauga River. My wife and I were extremely fortunate to have Dominic Costello as our guide. Dom allowed us to make the trek with me as a first time fly fisherman and my wife as an interested observer. At a loss for words to express how awesome the trip was for the both of us. Dom took extended time to teach and demonstrate before we even got to the water. It was evident from the get go that Dom is a bright, energetic, knowledgeable, and experienced fisherman – his engaging personality combined with these attributes served to create lifetime memories highlighted by netting several rainbow trout. His willingness to answer a plethora of questions from both Joyce and I served to enhance the experience. Dom’s cell number is now in my contact list as I will be reaching out to him the next time we are back in North Carolina."

"Dominic Costello is an excellent guide, young man and teacher. He is the type of guide I would recommend to any of my past fishing clients. I was so happy to hear from him that he had graduated and received his college degree. He was energetic and patient while sharing his fly fishing knowledge with my 16 year old grandson who has fly fished in Alaska and the Green River in Utah with me but he had not fished smaller trout stream which require a different skill set. Dom and Chetola Lodge are first class and he is the only guide I will fish with in Blowing Rock."
