BLUE CHIP FLY FISHING LLC

"Had a great day on the river with Eddie. Will definitely use him again. He was informative, easygoing, funny, passionate about fly fishing and put us on lots of fish. Thanks Eddie!"

"I really cannot say enough good things about Eddie Hudon and Blue Chip Fly Fishing. Aside from taking some classes I'm a rank beginner and had never caught a trout (except at a trout farm) until two days ago when Eddie took me to the Tuckasegee River. It was a gorgeous day, and although the river had sort of been "fished out" from opening day of delayed harvest, I still hauled in six beautiful trout. Eddie is the consummate professional and is without doubt one of the most patient human beings on the planet. What a gentleman! And by the way, I knew nothing at all about euronymph fishing, but Eddie taught me well, and now I'm a huge fan of that style of fly fishing. Eddie gets my enthusiastic recommendation. Call him up and go fishing!"

"I booked a half-day trip with Eddie. I was apprehensive the day prior as a cold front had come through the smokey mountains and it dropped to freezing at night and barely 50 degree forecasted for afternoon high the day we were to go out. Plus, they had opened both dams upstream creating a strong current with high wind gusts. Eddie is not only a true pro but he also has the unique patience and personality for dealing with people bolstered from his prior career as a consumer goods executive. He was patient. Had the best equipment. Got us to the middle of the Tuckaseegee River safely despite currents that were twice stronger than recommended for wading in. His waders, boots, equipment kept me warm, dry and comfortable. We had several trout nibbling despite all the forces of nature against us and I got to take one photo for sharing. THANKS EDDIE!"

"Eddie is the master guide and teacher. He is professional, patient, knowledgeable and above all caring. He will work his tail off to see that his clients are successful. Eddie took me under his wing two years ago and to this day I still look forward to fishing with him. Oh, one last thing, I am proud to call him a true friend."

"We have fished with Eddie on several fall trips to the Smokies. Eddie is extremely knowledgeable but more importantly he is patient, kind, fun and a joy to spend time with. We have always caught fish, including some real beauties, and we have always learned new techniques when we have gone out with him. This November we have signed up to have Eddie give my sons their first fly fishing experience. Can’t wait! He is the best."
