The Rangeley Region is a great place to escape the crowds and explore the many smaller streams our backcountry offers. Brooks and streams of all sizes hold native brookies that come readily to a fly. Our fly fishing guides love to take fisherman into the back country to explore and share the quiet places. The typical streams we fish on these trips offer a diversity of water, sometimes fast riffles and other times long stretches of alternating cut banks. Part of the fun on these trips is never knowing what lies around the next bend. The best timing for our backcountry adventures is mid to late summer. As the water temps on the bigger rivers warm, the smaller streams and headwaters stay cooler. This cooler water means an abundance of healthy, active native brook trout. Most times all we fish for a fly are dry flies like Klinkhamer Emerger, Adams, and Purple Haze. The brookies in these smaller streams are generally no bigger than 10 inches and are best fished for with smaller weight, shorter rods. We encourage you to join us on a guided backcountry adventure.

Turning Stone’s Fly Fishing guides offer waded fly fishing trips on many different streams, rivers, and creeks across western North Carolina.

The areas we fish vary from dense Rhododendron forests with small tributaries meandering about that are filled with tiny wild brook trout, to large rivers that are rough and tumbling that hold enormous, wild brown trout. We also frequently fish areas that are stocked with massive fish that increase your odds of catching a monster.

We mainly guide wade trips on 3 different rivers, but we sometimes go off the beaten path based on the experience of the angler, and the current conditions.

Under “Where We Fish” is a rundown of the rivers and areas we frequently fish. Click on the name for even more details about each area’s unique benefits, beauty, fish varieties available, and challenges

We have a 3 client to 1 guide ratio which is represented in the price. If you would like a more specialized guided experience, we recommend a 2 client to 1 guide ratio, available at an added cost. Please call for details.

PLEASE READ Cancellation Policy

At Turning Stone’s Fly Fishing, we operate year-round with a group of professional, full-time fishing guides. When scheduling a fishing trip with us, we ask you to try to avoid canceling or rescheduling your fishing trip as this creates scheduling and booking conflicts with our guides.

The cancellation and booking policy can be found below. This policy reflects the rights of Turning Stone’s Fly Fishing, LLC and applies to all of our fishing trips. We understand that unforeseen situations may arise beyond control which sometimes affects travel plans. We believe in a fair approach to cancellations. Our cancellation policy is such that it protects our guides’ livelihoods if a scheduled guide trip is canceled. In some situations, it allows deposits from canceled trips toward future trip bookings.

Only your fishing guide may cancel your guided trip prior to the scheduled date due to weather, river conditions, or mechanical breakdown.

Our trips fill quickly, therefore when reserving a trip in advance, a $100, non-refundable deposit is required to hold your trip on the water. No exceptions.

If you do not show up for your trip, you will be charged the full price of the scheduled guide trip.

Fishing trips that cancel less than 48 hours or in the event of a “no show” recipient will result in the forfeiture of deposit and remaining trip balance.'

Guided fishing trips proceed if the guide deems the conditions are safe rain or shine. Inclement weather or undesirable fishing conditions are NOT acceptable reasons for the client to cancel.

In the event of dangerous conditions, Turning Stone’s Fly Fishing reserves the right to cancel the trip. If your reservation is cancelled due to unsafe conditions, you will have the option to apply your deposit towards a future trip within the calendar year.

Turning Stone’s Fly Fishing feels that this policy is more than fair. At the end of the day, we want you to have a terrific time on the water with us under favorable conditions.

Our 4 hr trip is perfect for those that have not fished before. All trips are within site of land and generally focus on wreck and reef fishing in the Chesapeake Bay. Trolling and site fishing are also an option for these trips.

Target species MAY include Cobia, Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Blue fish, Spade fish and more depending on time of year. *Please note: Start and end times may vary for all trips depending on many varying factors. If you have any questions, please call (757) 875-4920. Your guide will reach out 2-3 days before the trip date to confirm details and start time. **If you would like to book for 6 people, please call to inquire. Welcome aboard the Sea Hooker! Veteran owned and operated, Captain Rob Lampson started fishing the Atlantic in 2017.
