My name is Elijah McKenzie, Owner and Guide of McKenzie Fly Fishing Co. I ‘am a locally owned fly fishing guide based out of Morganton, North Carolina. Though, I was not born and raised here in the Southern Appalachians, Being native to the Matsu-Borough of Alaska it was a way of life fishing for Trout.
