"Roberts knows the area waters with the sort of familiarity that only comes with a lifetime of angling, and he has the sort of laid back personality that works equally well for putting novices at ease or offering tips to seasoned veterans. He offers visiting anglers an impressive variety of fly fishing venues’"

Jim Casada - Former President-Outdoor Writers Association of America OWAA

John Roberts - FlyFishing Guide
My adult sons and I utilized John Roberts Fly Fishing as our guide after relocating to the Lexington area, and we were thoroughly impressed with the comprehensive details John provided. His expert guidance has enabled us to acquire extensive knowledge that we continue to apply today, yielding remarkable success on the surrounding streams and rivers. Under John's tutelage, I have been able to catch trout year-round. Notably, he devoted special attention to my son Nathan, who was fly fishing for the first time, and Nathan had an exhilarating experience, catching the most trout that day. We extend our sincere gratitude to John Roberts Fly Fishing JB 2024
