About Captain Butch Murphy:

Capt. Butch Murphy has been the guide and explorer of the waters in Virginia and Maryland. He's been showing people the beauty and thrill of fishing in these historic rivers, and has made it his life's work to help create unforgettable memories.

Capt. Butch is a true fishing expert and has mastered the art of fishing in the Potomac River, Shenandoah River, Juniata, and Susquehanna River. He knows exactly where to find the biggest and best fish, and can guide you to a successful and enjoyable day on the water.


Butch has a special love for fly fishing, and sees it as both a challenge and a peaceful escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. He finds joy in casting his line and floating down the river, and relishes the time spent in nature with family and friends.


But Capt. Butch is not just a fly fisherman. He also enjoys spinning reels and the thrill of the catch. He often competes against his friends and family to see who can catch the biggest smallmouth bass. Fishing is more than just a hobby for him, it's a way of life.
