Captain Doug has remained an avid fisherman and outdoorsman his entire life. He was introduced to fishing at just 16 months old when his father introduced him to brim fishing in Alabama.

Since then, he has spent countless days on the water to improve his understanding of fish behavior and to conserve the bountiful fisheries and ecosystems Western North Carolina provides.

Catching the fly fishing bug in his early days, Captain Doug ventured west to Montana and Colorado before making Western Carolina his home outside of Asheville. His greatest joy is sharing his fly fishing knowledge and conservation strategies with beginner and expert anglers alike.

Whether fishing quiet mountain streams or a whitewater rivers, Captain Doug provides knowledge and insights from his experiences that will help anglers on their trip and beyond!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
