"Between the fish,your hospitality, the wildlife, and your knowledge and expertise on fishing and local history, it could not have been a better trip. We do our father/son trip yearly to different locations. We are still going to travel the country doing that, but we are now planning on an extra trip to see you every spring. Once again, thanks Larry for a wonderful "West Virginia Experience." It was quite an adventure."

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the very nice trip on the New. You truly stand out as a professional. The service you provided me covered the whole spectrum of customer service. You were very punctual, gave me a lot of good tips on what to bring and gave me a first class guide in Eric.

Eric was not only knowledgeable of the river he was a joy to ride the river with. Your entire operation is, in my opinion, very well run and your personnel are extremely personable and friendly.

On two occations I have had the pleasure to observe you at work. The first time I entrusted my family with you and they are still talking about the great ride we had in April. I can appreciate the fact that safety comes first and that you still give a big bang for the buck. You exude a genuine love for the outdoors, this makes it very enjoyable. On a personal note, I appreciate your knowledge of the river and the culture that once existed there. Please keep up the good work."

"Thanks for the great day on the water this past Friday. It was one of the best fishing experiences I have ever had. To catch 160 plus smallmouth bass is something that very few people can say that they have ever done. This was the first time I have ever been on a rafting float trip and the way you handled the boat and made it possible for Brian and myself to fish some of those small holes in the rapids was impressive. The whole trip was awesome, from the fishing,scenery and the hospitality.
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will be booking a trip for me and my son,and thanks again for a great day on the water."

"A note to say thanks for a fantastic day of fishing. I never would have guessed we could catch so many fish in an 8 hour trip. When we got up the next morning Margy and I were literally sore from reeling in so many smallmouth. I personally appreciate the time you spent with Margy making certain she got bit!
You're truly a great guide and an even better boat handler which allowed us to enjoy a truly fun whitewater experience while boating over 150 fish.
And.............. to top it all off we got to see that beautiful double rain bow over the gorge
I promise you we will be back next year with our two sons.
Thanks again for a great trip"

"Patty and I wish to thank you and Ashley for the great time we had on our float trip on the New river it was one of the best guided trips we have ever taken and we have had guided trips all over the world.
We would like to come back and do it again if the opportunity presents it self."

" I want to take this chance to thank you for the wonderful time we had this
weekend.  In our group of 6-fisherman, we ranged from the novice to the most
experienced of anglers, each having great fun.  The guides were skilled in
all arenas, make this among the finest of experiences that any of us has
ever had the privilege of participating in.  For many of those on this trip,
it will be and was, the most fish any of them will or have ever landed in
one day of fishing.  The quality of the fishery, equipment, scenery and
PEOPLE are un-matched.  Your company is the mark by which all others should
be measured.  Please pass these accolades along to all of those that
continue to make THE WEST VIRGINIA EXPERIENCE the outfitter that it has
become and the outfitter of choice."

" THANK YOU on behalf of PRYSM Marketing in putting together a
fishing/white water rafting trip for my customers that went WELL beyond
my expectations of what three days of fun could be.  Fishing on the New
River was the best fishing I had ever experienced and I thank you and
your guides for the personal dedication in making every part of it
memorable.  As for the white water rafting, I think you can tell by the
pictures that everyone one us had the time of our lives.  I have been
several times down the Upper Gauley and by far you made it the most
enjoyable trip that I've been on. 

Take care and I will see you next year."

"Larry, Just wanted to write and say Thanks for the great trip last week! Dad and I had a great day on the river! From the time we met you at 5:30 until we got off the river that evening we were impressed with your professionalism. You worked hard for us and delivered exactly what you promised! The river, scenery, shore lunch and comrodery make memories that are priceless, and the fish we caught were an added bonus."

"Larry, thanks again for a fantastic day on the water last week. It was a
real treat to take my 13 year old son Mike out for such a fun and eventful
day. He caught more fish than he ever has before and learned quite a bit
from your patient coaching and encouragement. The river and scenery were
awesome, the fishing was great, good jokes and stories about Mike catching
"the big one" are memories that will last forever. Mike has agreed that this
will be an annual trip for us and I would strongly recommend you to anyone
considering a guided trip. Thanks again and I look forward to fishing with
you again soon."

"Past guided fishing trips to Alaska, Mexico and California were certainly
exciting, but I couldn't remember the guides' names a week later. That
certainly won't be a problem after our perfect outing on the New River with
Larry in May. Thanks again, Larry, for an awesome West, by God, Virginia
Experience. That four and a half pound smallmouth bass I caught has been
registered with the WV Department of Natural Resources as a trophy catch!!!
Doc and I will see you again this fall."

“Just a note of thanks for picking our foursome up at the last minute for a great fishing day on the Gauley. We came from Indiana mid-Oct and had our trip cancelled last minute with another service. The owner of Dirty Ernies' restaraunt gave us your number at 9pm and within an hour you had us hooked up for a day on the river. This was our first WV fishing experience. Even with the learning curve of fishing moving water we all caught fish and had a great time. All the guides went out of their way to show us how to fish and it was just a great day. ”

"On behalf of my friend Phil, I'm writing to thank you for the fine two-day grouse hunt we enjoyed in January.  We had never been to your part of the state before, and marveled at the rugged country, abundant birds, and friendly hospitality.  We especially appreciate the ease and convenience with which all arrangements were made.  From accommodations to the superb guide service, and especially the plentiful grouse, everything was seamless."

" My West Virginia deer hunt was a BLAST!  The food and hospitality was excellent.  'most of all, I got to make friends with some really good, down to earth, top notch people.  I've traveled 48 states and much of Canada but nothing trips my trigger like WV.  Looking forward to my next West Virginia Experience."
