His knowledge of bass fishing, kayak fishing, and the local environment, coupled with his natural teaching ability was the perfect balance of learning and fun. We caught loads of spotted bass and some largemouth while getting some exercise and experiencing the serenity of the natural environment. The equipment provided was top notch and in perfect working order, which is not always the case with other kayak fishing guides. I will definitely use them again the next time I am in Asheville. Don't hesitate call them now, they book up fast!

A BUSINESS is NOT a LOCATION ! You can not fish inside a building. You will not have room to cast your line ! A PLACE to FISH is like a certain spot on the river, or a small lake or a creek. It is much better to fish in those types of locations than inside a fly and tackle shop or a barbecue restaurant. Yes those are great places to go, to find fishing equipment, to hire a fishing guild or to eat some awesome barbecue. But, alas it is very poor fishing in those stores.

Me and my absolute boys I met 3 days ago went on this tubing excursion and my life will never be…read morethe same. This bro soak had everything: bros, tubes, beers, water, rocks, thrills (small rapids), and more. On the way there, I suggested we stop for sunscreen. I took a considerable amount of shit for this (looking at you, Lance - thanks for driving though). Lance brought me to a CVS and I got 3 sunscreens: spray, cream, face. I lent the spray to Eddy and never saw it again. The cream was confiscated at the airport for being too large. I still have the face one and wear it everyday to remember my absolute boys whomst I love. Most people besides me got insane sunburn, I remain smug about this to this day. Anyway, the tubing was great. I would consider it a team building activity. On the way to the water, the handle on the cooler I was carrying got detached and the beers/ice went everywhere but nobody made fun of me. This meant a lot to me because most would consider me to be on the sensitive side and I felt like an absolute loser AT FIRST until I realized that my boys accept me no matter what. So we got on the water, tied up, floated, listened to music. It was truly v Zen. We laughed, cried, sang. We were at the mercy of The River; I believe it deemed us worthy. The river/spiritual guides say that the graffiti bridge marks 30-40 minutes left. This is not true. The water basically stopped moving so it was like an hour plus. We all got separated but reunited on shore and got sick tacos from White Duck Taco. Neil and I got like coconut margs and they slapped. One thought I had is that it's kinda weird that they sell dry bags and other tubing related necessities at the finish line and not where you drop off your car. Like we got to the end and I see this shop and I'm like damn I wish we could've purchased this stuff BEFORE my adventure. That's my only gripe. I will take my other friends here and test their resolve. I don't believe they have what it takes, but now I know to let The River be the one to judge

If you wanted to take a phone, don't get a fancy dry bag; use a ziplock bag. This is not white water rafting. The trip took just a little less than 2 hours. The business was affected by the hurricane, so they need your business.

It had a coupon for $12 off!! We called on Tuesday night about 7:45 (they closed at 9) and talked to Teresa who was able to schedule our foursome for a trip at 2:00 on Wednesday. She was so helpful and gave us some tips for travel to Hartford. Once we got there we checked in with a very competent and thorough young lady. We took a short bus ride to the "put in" point. On the 10 minute ride some of the guides performed fun comedic routines which kept us from thinking about how hot we were on a bus with no AC ( except open windows), decked out in life jackets and helmets while holding our paddles upright. :-) We got paired with a river rafting guide named Brantley. He gave us great paddling instructions before we even entered the raft. Since we had all been river rafting before, he explained that the trick to having a more exciting trip is to synchronize your paddle strokes. We had a great time with Brantley. We truly appreciate his concern for our "fun factor" and especially our safe trip down the river.

You can make it as interactive or as lazy as you would like, but we highly recommended seeking out the light rapids and enjoying the thrills! Many thanks, Mad Co, for a fantastic day!
