OUR GUIDES
Troy Stiffler – Owner and Operator
When I’m not guiding, I’m fishing! I will always go the extra mile to make your trip a great memory regardless of weather or fishing conditions. In my knowledge of fishing the New River, I understand that it is crucial to stay in tune with fishing patterns in order to provide my customers with the very best opportunity to have an exceptional fishing experience. Expertise and a rewarding fishing experience is exactly what New River Trophy Outfitters has to offer you.
Charlie aka "The Goat"- Born in Beckley in the '60s and grew up fishing these local creeks for trout as a kid. Starting fishing the river when I was introduced to the black and white Rapala and discovered smallmouth bass. I've been hooked ever since!
I started my guiding career in 1997 and still have repeat customers from that first year. The New River has changed over the years along with the types of fish we catch today. Early in my trips, smallmouth and rock bass were always your dominant fish, with an occasional Kentucky spot as a catch. Today we catch those right along with walleye and musky of all sizes.
Tristan - Our youngest guide, Tristan, has grown up on the New River. Tristan was fishing at 8 years old, kayaking solo at 11, and guiding his dad and friends at 16.
Brian S. - Having spent his childhood hunting and fishing throughout every corner of West Virginia, Brian is now a law enforcement professional and one of our dedicated weekend warriors.
