Fishing with Brady was a wonderful experience! It was my first time to truly have a chance to fly fish for trout, and Brady gave my wife and I the best experience ever. He was fun to visit with and shared his knowledge and experience freely. My wife was allowed to use our spinning rod and lures to fish freely while Brady's focus was on my fly fishing. She managed to catch a Brookie that was 12"+ and a few nice rainbows! We both had a blessed experience and landed numerous fish before the storms rolled in. If you are new to fly fishing and want to learn how it's done, Brady at rising rivers is awesome! Thank you for a marvelous adventure!!!

I had a 2 day fishing trip and had Bryant Stark as my guide. Let me just tell you this was fantastic from start to finish. I could tell from the moment I stepped into the boat how organized and professional Bryant kept his boat. He was very knowledgeable about the river and the fishing. We spent the first day fishing around Cotter and had great numbers and really learned about fly fishing from a boat. The 2nd day we went up river towards the dam. It was a slow start to the day but Bryant kept us moving until we finally found what we were looking for and got us into some larger Browns. I had an amazing trip and highly recommend Rising River

We fished with Rising River Guides for 5 days and we're greatly impressed. Matt arranged 3 different guides, and each were fantastic. We caught a lot of fish even several over 23 inches. Highly recommend and we will be back.

We've been fishing with Matt and his team for years. Every year we do a big trip with anglers of all different experience levels...first-timers to pros. They always hustle and put us on fish. Great guides and better guys. Big thank you to Matt, Bryant and Dave for this latest trip and an opportunity to join the 2' club!
