We have been fishing with Due South for over 5 years. The professionalism and enthusiasm of their staff and guides is top notch. The most recent trip was with Karson and it was outstanding! He put us on the fish. We hooked them and landed them with the help of his coaching and encouragement. We ended the trip grinning like children. Thanks for a fabulous trip!

Had an incredible day fishing with Tyler! He put me on some wild browns and rainbows in very tough fishing conditions (low water, leaves, etc). I learned a ton from Tyler and improved my skills greatly from the beginning to the end of the day. I highly recommend fishing with Tyler and the crew at Due South Outfitters.

Went on a full day Wade trip with Karson on 11/11, had a great time. He took the time to understand what I wanted out of the day (to improve my skills) and adjusted accordingly. Caught plenty of fish. He knows the rivers and creeks, and he’s super easy to spend the day with. I’ve used Due South multiple times, and been with Karson a couple times now, and will definitely use again. This is a topnotch outfit.

Karson and Tyler were the absolute best guides! We are novices and they were amazing at teaching us and letting us fish! It was a fun, amazing and very successful trip! We will be back again!!

What an amazing trip! We took a half day wading trip with Karson and Paco. They drove us to an amazing creek. Within a minute of beginning to fish, my son caught his first trout and that was just the beginning of an awesome morning full of fish. I think altogether we caught over 15 fish which is more than we’ve ever caught! In addition, both Karaon and Paco taught us so much about not only fly fishing but also the area. They were extremely patient, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful guides. I can’t say enough good things about the two of them and the trip in general. We will definitely be back!

Drayton and Paco provided some outstanding guidance on my first float and wade trips. Had a great time and caught plenty. Can't recommend this group enough!

My buddy and I scheduled a full day wade trip with Due South. Neither of us had fly fished before. We were paired with Lucas as a guide and we had a blast! Lucas was so patient with us and was an incredible guide and instructor. The team at Due South is super responsive (I had a number of questions leading up to the trip) and a pleasure to work with. We caught a lot of trout on our trip (we stopped counting) and had fun doing it. I will definitely schedule another trip. Thanks for everything!

Had an incredible day with Tyler Camp. My son and I both caught our largest ever wild trout in NC (15+ inches) and we have been fly fishing for about 15 years. We also learned new casting techniques and hook sets that will help us. He was a great guide! The guys at Due South were also awesome to deal with. Highly recommend for both beginners and experienced fly fishers.

Hands down the best fly fishing experience I’ve been apart of. Huge shoutout to Max for making everything so easy, an keeping the trout coming in the boat all day! Easily caught over 20 fish will forever be a day to remember. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing day on the water. Best outfit in the area.

Great time with the Due South team. Booked a full day wade followed by a full day float and my brother and I couldn’t be more happy. During our wade trip Karson Decker was the epitome (word of the day) of guides. His professionalism and knowledge of the sport and area were top notch. Over 100 fish landed and unfortunately the biggest a 20+ rainbow broke us off after dodging the net twice. For the float trip Max Beck the owner took us out and flawlessly directed us onto fish 35+ topping it off with some exciting dry fly action. We are definitely coming back.

We booked a half day fishing trip with Due South, and our guide Tyler was awesome. Tyler really knew the waters of each location he took us to. My husband is an experienced fly fisherman, but I had never fly fished before, and Tyler was the perfect teacher. He was informative yet patient, professional yet personable, and he had a great sense of humor, making our time an absolute delight. We will gladly book another guided trip with Due South again and wholeheartedly recommend Tyler as a guide. What a great experience! Thank you, Tyler!

Super friendly staff and an even friendlier pup to greet you when you walk in! Staff made me feel super welcome and were very helpful re local knowledge and good flies to use. Would rate 6 stars if I could!

First time trout fishing ever and Karson took us out for an amazing day. He is an incredibly experienced, patient and friendly guide (I’ve never laughed so much). I’m new to fly fishing and my boyfriend had never fished for trout before. Karson took his time to explain every step, teaching us how to: properly set up our rigs; roll cast; and, mend. In the end we caught dozens of beautiful rainbows and even a 20”+ brown. Can’t recommend Karson and Due South Outfitters enough! Best Day Ever!!

I love to fish. I grew up bass, crappie, and bream fishing. The older I get the more I enjoyed crappie fishing; however, I love to try new things. I've tried fly fishing for trout once before with lesser knowledgeable people and it didn't take. Lucas was our guide and he never got tired of the questions. I'm also an avid hunter and realize observation is a key ingredient when learning a new skill. I could feel Lucas' passion for fly fishing, and it rolled over to me. I also loved several things about Due South Outfitters, 1) it's locally owned (not some investor ran business. 2) Your going fishing with young adults who love what they do. 3) They are conservationists, believing to protect the sport and the environment (both super important to me). I'll not only book again with these guys, I'll most likely make their shop a stop on all my trips to the WNC Mountains!

Max and Macy Beck are highly passionate entrepreneurs and extremely professional! We successfully completed a float trip with Max in Tennessee and wow was it exciting. Max is an outstanding guide. Thank you both for your services, knowledge and coaching :) We shall return, hopefully soon!!
