Welcome to Tar-Pam Guide Service’s Website! Tar-Pam Guide Service is a year-round guide service specializing in light tackle fishing on the Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds and their tributaries. Based in “Little Washington”, the name “Tar-Pam” represents the confluence of the freshwater Tar River and the brackish estuarine waters of the Pamlico River.
