Set against the foothills of Mount Washington in Intervale, New Hampshire, Floating Feathers Guide Service offers an expertly guided fly fishing experience that blends hands-on learning with some of the region’s most pristine waterways. This area, just east of the White Mountains, is renowned for its clear streams and cold mountain-fed rivers, creating ideal habitat for native brook trout and wild browns. Anglers find themselves casting lines where glacial deposits shape rocky streams and deciduous forest edges provide both shelter and scenic views.

What makes Floating Feathers stand apart is the personalized instruction provided by Tim Burns, a guide praised for his professionalism, patience, and deep understanding of local waters. Whether you’re entirely new to fly fishing or looking to sharpen your technique, Tim tailors outings that balance technical skill-building with steady encouragement. Beginners receive thoughtfully paced coaching on casting styles, fly selection, and reading water currents, turning each trip into an immersive lesson. More experienced fishermen benefit from Tim’s ability to read fish behavior and locate hidden spots, maximizing the catch potential.

The service goes beyond just fishing; it gives insight into the environmental stewardship of the rivers and the broader ecosystem, helping guests appreciate the delicate balance that sustains these trout populations. Floating Feathers operates primarily in secluded streams overlooked by many, providing a quieter, more intimate alternative to crowded fishing holes nearby.

Intervale’s location — just outside North Conway, NH — places it within reach of a variety of outdoor pursuits, making it an excellent stop for anyone looking to combine fly fishing with hiking, biking, or mountain sightseeing. With loaner gear, expert transport to fishing locations, and thoughtful instruction, Floating Feathers is a gateway to mastering fly fishing while engaging with one of New England’s most scenic landscapes.
