My husband and I live in FL and are avid saltwater anglers. We had the fly-fishing basics down but decided to hire a guide in June to teach us more about the specific area, the waters, and the finer aspects of the sport. We’ve shopped at Foscoe Fishing many times so we decided to start there. Alyssa was our guide and I just cannot say enough good things about her. She was knowledgeable, fun, and put us on the fish. She knew we were avid hikers and took us on a fly-fishing trip of a lifetime, miles up the river, across boulders, and eventually up and around a waterfall. An amazing experience to say the least. The best part is that we went fishing on our own the very next weekend and caught trout!! Alyssa went above and beyond to customize our experience and make our trip exciting and memorable. We recommend her to everyone we know. If you’re looking for something fun to do with friends who are visiting, want to improve your fly fishing skills, or just learn the area’s waters, ask for Alyssa at Foscoe Fishing Company in Foscoe/Boone NC. She is the best in the business.

Went on a half day float trip and pulled in over a dozen brown and rainbow trout. Couldnt have been more satisfied with my first fly fishing experience! Skye, my guide, was super knowledgeable and helpful. Ill definitely be back.

We just finished a great week of fishing with Dustin, one of the senior guides at Foscoe. It rained almost the whole week, but we had a blast anyway. Dustin knew just where to go for the best fishing! We floated and waded and caught browns, rainbows and the very special tiger trout! A week to remember! We are coming back in the fall and will be sure to book with Foscoe.

Great selection of flys and all fly fishing tackle. The customer service was great also. Spent all my lunch money and left happy.

My dad and I made a last minute fishing trip. Booked with David, the process was extremely easy and painless. Alyssa was our guide, she was well informed and taught us everything we needed to know about fly fishing. Put us on fish with the first cast. Will recommend to everyone!

Great people working here and gave us some good fishing spots.

Customer service was GREAT! They even have a cute pup that enjoys playing!

Disappointed by the rude staff on 1Aug2020. Picked which customers they wanted to service. Not interested in all purchasing customers. Take your business elsewhere.

Had a great time fishing with Alyssa this weekend. Everyone I spoke with during the process was super knowledgeable and patient with a beginner. I know who to call in the Spring.

Nice store, well stocked. Use the entrance on the left. The right side is a architectural firm. My bad.

Great place, very helpful

Employee was very helpful and made sure we was satisfied with all that we bought!!!!

Excellent shop with everything youll need to have a successful day on the water. Customer service is always great and they always have the best new selection of Orvis gear.

Love a good flyfishing shop. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Wish them good luck.

Clay our fishing guide was great! We had a great time catching trout on a Watauga River!

Great experience. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They know fish.

I would highly recommend Foscoe Fishing Company. I went on my first guided fly fishing trip with them recently and had a great time. I went on a half day float and caught a bunch of fish in just a few hours! My guide was professional and explained things well for a beginner. I was very impressed and would book another trip with them any time!

This place is centrally located, has great staff, and an awesome collection of whatever gear you need. Ive taken a float trip with these guys and it was definitely a must for any outdoorsman who comes to the area. You dont even need to be a pro to have fun. I am new to the sport and caught seven fish on my time out. Ill be doing it again at least once a year! Oh, and give Sebastian the dog a good pettin for me.

Great place to look for fishing gear with a knowledgeable staff. Very nice atmosphere and beautiful building. Highly recommend!

Love this store. Lots of flys and local fishing supplys. Thanks yall

Great experience yesterday. This is our 4th time going floating with Foscoe. Thanks Carl and Dustin for an unforgettable trip down the South Holstein!

Stopped by to grab some things for my dad. The guy behind the counter did not acknowledge me, say hello, or anything. He didnt ask if I needed help at all. The store was great, very well stocked, and I enjoyed looking around. It would have been nice to see some southern hospitality from the employee.

Pretty much your standard small Orvis store. Usually well supplied, but occasionally out of staple items.

Rude staff

Had a great experience with the shop. It was my first time in today and was highly impressed. Im new to fly fishing and they gave me great tips and service. I recommend 10/10

Very helpful employees

I had a great day fishing with Joe at Foscoe Fishing Company. We spent the day on one section of the Holsten river and put a boatload of fish in the boat. Thanks Joe.

Very friendly staff. As a first time fly fisherman, I really didnt know what I was doing, But the staff of Foscoe were fantastic at giving me pointers. Great all round.

Thinking of fly fishing with them? AVOID!!! I never write reviews but feel others need to know. I would give zero stars if possible. We had a guide trip planned for my birthday with the owner, Alex. We gave him 2 separate phone #s to give the guide in case anything came up. We arrived and no one ever showed up!! Hours later after finding a much better company, thankfully, as I felt my birthday was ruined, he called and falsely blamed the guide. As a business owner myself, I would have offered free merchandise or anything vs lies and cant do anything about it for wasting our time and nearly ruining my birthday. Throughout my stay in Boone I learned he has a horrible reputation throughout the town. Most other companies and other guides I spoke with will NOT work with him. Horrible, unprofessional, dishonest!

Just needed some small weights but had never been there before, so I looked around and listned in and they are very experienced.

I unintentionally started a tradition with my three boys seven years ago. When my oldest turned 11, I happened to choose Foscoe for a guided fly fishing trip. I was pleased and two years later took my second son when he turned 11. The last of the three boys I took just this week. All three times I was very pleased. The excursions were even more memorable because we had the pleasure of having Jay as our guide all three times! Jay not only knew where to take us, but was a good, patient instructor. I recommend Foscoe and if you can have Jay as your guide, I doubt you will be disappointed.

Great Fly shop with friendly, knowledgeable staff and great guides. Have been out with Ryan several times and he will put you on fish!

Ehhh....stopped in the middle of the road and turned around to check it out. I was up in the mountains for my first time and wanted to pick up a map, get some direction on where to go, what to use, and wanted to buy some flies.Normally you walk into a place and the help is falling over themselves to pick it flies for you, will point out exactly where to go on a map and shows you their favorite flies.This kid was nice enough but didnt seem to care. I find this area pretty tough to determine exactly where you are even allowed to fish. It would be nice if the only fly shop in the area could be a bit more helpful.If nobody else makes a map, publish one yourself! Make a pile of best flies of the week if the kids at the front doesnt know anything. Do something.Sure had a lot of nice stuff even if they were out of the most popular flies. Disappointed and will be contacting Orvis.

Ryan is a great staff member!

Not a place to go for fly tying materials.

Overpriced
