I love fishing with Matt, especially when I notice that other boats on the water are not catching nearly as many fish as we are. Whether with a young beginner, or a lifelong angler, Matt not only finds the fish while we are on the ware, but also teaches us new techniques that we can use forever. All with practical "get 'er done", common sense and easy-going conversation. Highly recommended.

Matthew (Scooter) Guinn is a blast to do a float trip with! I have been fly fishing with him for 10+ years and he is one of the best guides I have had the pleasure of learning from in my 30 years of fly fishing. Every time I go with him I learn new things that help me become better! He knows the waters he guides on exceptionally well and you will catch fish! Finally, he is an awesome person with whom I have become great friends. I give my highest recommendation of him and Bristol Anglers!!!

I've been fishing with Scooter for years. He has helped me improve my trout fishing skills and turned me on to bass fishing as well. It's always a good time on the river with Scooter. Great conversation, lots of laughs, and sharing a mutual enjoyment of nature. We've built a great friendship over the years and if anyone asks me about fishing in Tennessee, I tell them, "I got a guy!"

I began fly fishing 5 years ago. My first time out was with Matthew "Scooter" Guinn. He was so patient with me as a beginner and took the time to explain and show me how to properly cast, mend, and bring a fish to the boat. Over these past 5 years I have fished many times with Scooter. He has become a great friend and his love for the river and fishing has kept me coming back.

When I come to east TN to fish, either wade or float, I fish with Matthew. I have been fishing with Matthew multiple times a year over a number of years and have fished the Watauga, the South Holston for trout and even the (proper) Holston for smallmouth with him. He knows the rivers and where the fish are. We always seem to catch fish even on the days I don't expect to. BEST guide on the river. I wholeheartedly recommend him and look forward to fishing with him in the future.

Matt Guinn is an exceptional fly fishing guide! I have floated in a drift boat with many guides, over the years, on the great rivers of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. He is one of the best. He has detailed knowledge, from experience, of the South Holston and Watauga Rivers. I have always had productive days with Matt. He is a great instructor for novices as well as experienced anglers. The brown trout shown here is a typical example of my experience with Matt. I highly recommend him for your next fly fishing adventure.

Captain Matthew "Scooter" Guinn is the most dedicated and client pleasing guide I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His knowledge of Eastern TN/Western NC water are unparalleled to others. I will be a lifelong client and recommending Capt. Scooter to everyone and anyone looking to fish Western NC, Eastern TN, and SW Virginia.

My family has fished with Matthew Guinn for 13 years. Matthew is patient and adaptable to any skill set. Some of my best fishing experiences have come fishing with Matthew or from his advice on what to fish with or where to fish. When I bought my drift boat, Matthew taught me to row and gave me advice on safely adapting to my skill set rowing specific sections of South Holston until I was comfortable. I continue to fish annually with Matthew after a stressful inventory season at work and look forward to learning something new every time. Monds family!

I have fished with Scooter Guinn on the South Holston and Watauga Rivers numerous times over the years and found that he is a fantastic fly fishing guide. His knowledge of these waters and which flies are catching trout throughout the year is impressive. He is very friendly and always makes our trips a pleasure. In addition, he's a great instructor who teaches me something new about fly fishing every trip. I highly recommend him!

When I have the chance to have Matthew "Scooter" Guinn as my fishing guide, I know I will catch fish, lots of fish and more times than not, big fish. Spending the day with Scooter is always a day with stories, learning and laughter

I started fishing with Matt over ten years ago. He really knows this river and works hard to keep you on the fish.
