He is a great guide, magnificent navigator of white water, great cook and a really nice guy. Does not mind fetching an errant cast into the trees, reties and never complains. Very patient. I plan on fishing with him again soon. He also provides excellent tackle, not the cheap stuff. I was impressed with his knowledge of the river and where every dangerous rock is. He rowed 2 days in the drift boat and never skipped a beat. It is a really nice drift boat too. Nice memory for me and my buddy Tom. We didn't count the first day, but the 2nd day we caught 68 fish.

Overall, an excellent experience and I will certainly be using this service again!!!

Around 20 nice rainbows between the 2 of us. Zack was excellent. Patient, encouraging and gave lots of great advice. We came down from VA to Ashville and could not have been more pleased. It's a beautiful area. Our first trip down that way. When we come back, we will definitely be using Brown Trout Fly Fishing as our guide. Totally worth it.

This was the first fly fishing trip for all of us - despite the cold weather at the time (bad planning on my part!), we had a great time - the guides were so helpful, courteous, we had everything we needed in terms of gear, their knowledge and patience was incredible. Would highly recommend Brown Trout - thanks to Hannah for coordinating this all as well!

My husband really enjoyed how beautiful his golf experience was. The staff are so kind & accommodating. We got lunch once at their restaurant. Everyone loved their food. My burger was quite burnt, however. The fries were good though. The amenities are all very thought through. We enjoyed the 10 minute hike we had up to a waterfall that was nearby. It was so peaceful and nice. We actually came for a destination wedding! Not sure how many weddings they do, but we had a great time. Beautiful wedding & no complaints as a guest. Be aware however that I have AT&T and had no signal my whole stay. I relied on WiFi.

There used to be a hydroelectric dam upstream that could control releases, but it was destroyed in Hurricane Helene. The future of the dam is uncertain. I appreciated the warm welcome we received when we arrived. We had booked online and signed all of our waivers before we got there. We reserved(rented) water shoes for several folks, as they did not have appropriate footwear. Check in, shoe selection, and safety briefing went quickly , and we were in our tubes in no time. The river was mainly calm stretches punctuated by intermittent small rapid areas. Nothing felt daunting or too dangerous. It had the right level of excitement for the kids to handle themselves. The take out was well marked. It was easy to get our tubes up to the van for the short ride back. We took the first time slot of the day, and were amazed by the crowded parking lot when we returned around noon. We look forward to returning.

Never really got stuck due to low water just have to pick butt up a bit. Staff shared that the Army corps of Engineers had came through and cleaned up the river. Indeed they did. There was not debris noted. No trees in river. Very calming, quiet and safe river/ environment. Bus ride is safe and they put tube in bus and they take it out. Bathrooms and changing rooms are very clean and tidy. Absolutely a wonderful experience and river is safe and clean. The cost very reasonable $15 for the long tubing run

The river has changed a lot since Helene came through, but so many people have done a lot of hard work to make the area safe and usable again. That being said, the water levels are low in many places which leads to bottoming out on the sand, gravel, or rocks. Lift your bum in these areas and you'll have better luck coasting over them. Everyone had a blast. The tubes stayed inflated and safe. Lifejackets for everyone. Staff was friendly and welcoming. It rained off and on, but we were wet anyway, so it didn't matter. We had fun. There was laughter all day and many memories were made. Thank you.

I was very dissatisfied with this company. I have been a customer for the past six years, and this…read moreexperience was nothing like what I've come to expect. This year, I arrived about 10 minutes late due to a wreck/traffic accident that was completely out of my control. Despite the circumstances, they were unwilling to work with me or offer any accommodation. The staff was rude, dismissive, and showed no understanding of the situation, even though there were very few people waiting in line at the time. After being a loyal customer for so many years, I expected much better customer service. Unfortunately, this is not the company I remember. Instead, I would recommend Beer City Tubing. They are compassionate, understanding, and willing to work with their customers when unexpected situations arise. Based on my recent experience, I would choose them over this company in the future.

They crap all over the place. The first 10 feet of sand is basically raked kitty litter, with duck poo instead of cat poo. The water and beach smell like poo. The beach (above the poo line) would be fine without the smell, as the sand is pretty clean and fine. Maybe the rest of the lake is clean, but it's hard to tell from the beach. Eww.
