I have been fishing with Travis since 2017 - in fact our first trip together was the day of the solar eclipse! We had stellar fishing, an amazing picnic lunch on the river while we took a break to watch the eclipse. Travis is the kind of guide who truly wants you to enjoy the water, relax, maybe learn something new, and to get the most out of your experience. He'll surprise you with his intimate knowledge of smallmouth bass behavior, as well as the local fauna and flora as well. Over the years, I have taken my daughter fishing with Travis too where she learned how to fly fish and all about the amazing Shenandoah river. My favorite way to fish is in the dog days of summer with a popper but I was lucky enough to also fish for carp on the fly with Travis (but you got to go to know!) Whether its on the fly or using conventional gear, I can not recommend fishing with Travis enough.

Travis is an amazing guide with tons of knowledge and experience. I loved the trip and I am planning another trip as we speak.

Won't find a better guy out there on the river. Beyond knowledgeable of the river, wildlife and what the fish were biting on. The full day was beyond worth it even if you fish these rivers regularly. Travis is the the type of guy that make and keep these rivers what they are, don't hesitate to go with him

We did a full day guide service with Travis on the Shenandoah for small mouth bass, and had the absolute best time! Not only did we catch a lot of fish, but we had the most delicious lunch set up in a beautiful location near a little waterfall, ate right in the river!! Travis is full of information and knowledge about the region, had so many useful recommendations, and was just a great captain on the boat for the day. Would highly recommend using his guide service and would definitely go back!

Travis was excellent. Communication was great from first contact until the end of the trip. Very customer oriented!! He supplies and does everything, just show up. Part 2 2023; we went on a winter guided excursion with Travis in December 2023. As usual great food, great fishing, and great weather, if you’ve never tried winter fishing you need to book a trip with Travis. It was awesome.
