Ray has enjoyed fishing for the majority of his life. Raised in West Virginia along the New River, his passion for fishing quickly grew. Although he has spent over five decades residing in Texas and working in real estate, Ray consistently makes time to fish in local spots such as Lake Conroe. In 2023, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a fishing guide. Ray finds great joy in fishing on Lake Conroe and is eager to share this experience with others. He is warm, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. His equipment and boat are impeccably maintained. Even when the fish were initially uncooperative, Ray's persistence helped us catch many great fish, filling the live well by the end of the trip. Ray's expertise and friendly nature make him an excellent guide, and I would gladly book another trip with him. Thanks for the feedback, David! Excited for our next adventure.
