Rick's Smallmouth Adventures. By guiding fishing trips on The New River for over 10 years, Rick Gauldin has turned his simple love for fishing, boating, and entertaining into a fun and fulfilling
secondary business. As the locals will be sure to tell you, fishing and navigating The New takes not only fishing know-how, but first hand experience and an understanding of the river’s ebb, flow, and unique personality. With that in mind, Rick designs and builds his own river “flat boats” which make for a safe, comfortable, and effective fishing platform. Rick's Smallmouth Adventures site.
