THERE’S ALWAYS FISH
Orchard Street Anglers is owned and operated by Kirby Mellott. He has been recreating and fishing in Western North Carolina since 2006.
Orchard Street Anglers offers a different kind of fly fishing experience. Based in downtown Boone, North Carolina, we’re in the heart of the Appalachian waters we know best.
Our guides have fished across the country and abroad, but they return here for the trout streams of the High Country. Every trip is crafted around your interests—personalized, focused, and hands-on.
We are committed to providing safe and fun experiences on the water for everyone .
Every guide is certified in CPR and Wilderness First Aid
