What Tweed Guide Customers Say

"We had a thoroughly enjoyable and instructive couple of days withBill and Ron. Friendly and helpful tuition, great locations and the excitement of actually catching a few fish all made for a great weekend. We finished the weekend full of enthusiasm and making plans to get back out in the water as soon as possible. We will be back!"

    "Although in the past I have caught larger fish, during a career that has taken me to many fishing locations, I have rarely fished in more interesting and knowledgeable company and I have never fished a more beautiful stretch of water.Tweed Guide's combination of great tuition and glorious location made the day truly memorable."
