This was my first fishing experience in the U.S., and choosing Stan as my guide made it unforgettable. Within 15 minutes at our first stop, I landed my very first Bass! I had a great time both on the water and during my stay near Lake Ivie. Looking forward to a return trip!

Stan didn’t just share his time and expertise—he also helped my son hook into a giant! They landed an impressive 11.33-pounder together.
