Justin was absolutely fabulous with my 9yo grandson on a fly rod float. Great patience and instruction, got him hooked up many times and kept him engaged and wanting more. Thanks my friend!

Another great day on the river with Trophy Water Guide Service. These guys are professional, engaging, and knowledgeable! And oh by the way, they know how to catch fish!
I've been using them for 8 years and have never been disappointed.

I have fished with all three of the Shroyer brothers and have had successful, courteous, professional experiences every time. A recent, particularly special outing involved Nick bonding with/instructing my 12 year old rookie grandson; forever grateful for the image of him rowing upstream into 18 mph winds (on the third Watauga flow adjustment) to put us back into a productive pocket. Priceless!!

One of the best days on the water with Rhett. He is a great guide, extremely patient, and just an overall fun-loving guy. The shop had us set up with the latest bugs and had a very knowledgeable staff. Justin and Rhett are the best in the business. Thanks for the lifelong memories!

Justin and Cory receive full 5 star review bc they were two of the kindest most helpful guides I’ve talked with in some time. My friend and I were focused on streamer fishing and they encouraged us to keep at it while also considering dry dropper action. If it wasn’t for Justin we would be passed over a few key spots on our DIY float that day on the upper taug. And bc of those locations, timing, and flies he suggested we landed a 20” rainbow. The day was our most productive on our trip. If you’re in the area, check him and Cory out. Cory got us into fish on the Doe and saved an afternoon for us on the day prior. We caught many wild rainbows on the Doe. Can’t wait to come back!

Nick and Justin are awesome guides, instructors and really know how to show a beginner the 101 to fly fishing. Extremely knowledgeable and most importantly I had phenomenal time.

Mountain stream fishing with Corey S. was not only successful with many fish caught but also very affordable for a 1/2 day trip! Corey knew the water so well because he grew up fishing them as young angler which explained why we were able to stay on fish all day. Take aways from the trip included new fishing skills, better understanding of native Brook Trout and wild Rainbow Trout, and much better information about reading the water/habitat. Bonuses for the trip included Corey giving me a selection of flies he had tied just for Brook Trout fishing and a collection of photographs he had taken from this really cool fishing adventure.Highly recommend!

Justin guided us on an 8 hour 11 mile float on Holston River, TN. He is a very amiable person and knows how to put clients on fish. He has excellent equipment if you choose not to bring your own. We caught plenty of fish of various species and size. He is more than willing to share his 20 years of guiding experience. We recommend Trophy Water and look forward to our next trip.
