Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Travis Edens consistently puts clients on productive smallmouth bass fishing throughout the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers, with many customers reporting 30-40+ fish days even in challenging conditions. His expertise shines through intimate knowledge of bass behavior, seasonal patterns, and productive techniques using both fly fishing and conventional gear. Customers praise his ability to read the water expertly and position anglers in the right spots at the right time, with several landing impressive 17-18+ inch smallmouth bass. Customers consistently highlight Travis's genuine passion for being on the river and his extensive knowledge extending far beyond fishing to local history, wildlife identification, and regional flora. His memorable riverside lunches featuring homemade soup and fried chicken create special moments, often set up near waterfalls or scenic locations. Families especially appreciate his patience teaching children fly fishing basics and celebrating their successes, while his storytelling and conversational skills make full-day trips feel like fishing with a longtime friend.

Water conditions weren't ideal, but Travis knew the water, and put me on fish. The lunch he provided was the best I ever had on a float trip! I had a great time, and will be booking again.

I have been fishing with Travis since 2017 - in fact our first trip together was the day of the solar eclipse! We had stellar fishing, an amazing picnic lunch on the river while we took a break to watch the eclipse. Travis is the kind of guide who truly wants you to enjoy the water, relax, maybe learn something new, and to get the most out of your experience. He'll surprise you with his intimate knowledge of smallmouth bass behavior, as well as the local fauna and flora as well. Over the years, I have taken my daughter fishing with Travis too where she learned how to fly fish and all about the amazing Shenandoah river. My favorite way to fish is in the dog days of summer with a popper but I was lucky enough to also fish for carp on the fly with Travis (but you got to go to know!) Whether its on the fly or using conventional gear, I can not recommend fishing with Travis enough.

Great day on the river. Fishing was great and the trip down the river was absolutely beautiful. Beavers swimming by, eagles flying above us and deer were everywhere.

My father and I fished today and we had a thrilling experience catching small mouth bass on the Potomac river. This is the 2nd time booking Travis and he is a professional and personable guide who knows the river and the surrounding area's history to all the wildlife you may see while on the river. I would say we caught 40 fish between my father and I today. I recommend KingFisher!

Won't find a better guy out there on the river. Beyond knowledgeable of the river, wildlife and what the fish were biting on. The full day was beyond worth it even if you fish these rivers regularly. Travis is the the type of guy that make and keep these rivers what they are, don't hesitate to go with him
