Learn MoreWe operate in power boats from 16' to 20' to access the most productive water in the region. Premium gear is provided for all our trips as well as a large selection of hand-tied flies specific to our fisheries. All trips include local craft beers and an unforgettable lunch prepared by the guide.
We operate on all of North Carolina's coastal river systems but primarily target fish on the upper Tar River and the Roanoke River National Wildlife Refuge. These are wild and scenic locations with very little human development. Large cypress trees line the banks and a variety of wildlife, from black bears to bald eagles, can be seen regularly.
Rates vary from $400–$650 depending on the trip location and duration. More information can be found on our website: https://www.tarriverco.com/book-online
