Welcome to my Fly Fishing page. My name is Sean Smith, and I am a licensed Fly Fishing guide in Exeter, New Hampshire. I primarily am available to take you fly fishing in southern New Hampshire and up on the Connecticut River in Pittsburg, New Hampshire

I’ve been a fly fisherman for over 10 years and have always found great joy in teaching others to fly fish or improve their technique.

So what kind of trip can you expect when you hire me as a guide? My job is to ensure you have a safe, fun day wading water that I’ve fished myself, and thus can teach you how and where to cast and catch fish. I prefer to dry fly fish whenever possible but can also help you with your nymphing and streamer techniques. As your guide, I provide all the gear you need including rods, waders and flies. The only thing I strongly recommend you bring is a pair of Polarized Sunglasses. I cannot stress how important this is and how much it will improve your fishing.

If we are fishing the southern New Hampshire seacoast area, I can bring you to easily accessible rivers such as the Exeter, Cocheco, Isinglass and Lamprey. The Lamprey is a great spring and winter fishery. I am the president of Portsmouth’s Great Bay TU chapter and am very involved in the fall stocking of this river. If you are searching for a great local place to learn to fly fish, these rivers are perfect. Also, because they are so close to my home, I’m able to offer economic trips on these rivers.

If, however, you’d like to experience the best Fly Fishing New Hampshire has to offer, I highly recommend joining me in Pittsburg, New Hampshire to fish the Connecticut River. The dry fly fishing is incredible and it’s possible to catch Rainbow, Brook, and Brown Trout and Landlocked Salmon all in one day.
