Clackacraft pro staff.
We take great pride in the quality of our fly fishing guide service. Our goal has always been to be the best on the river. To be the best on the river you have to know your stuff. Being able to catch trout with a fly rod is not enough. A great guide puts his client's safety and well-being first and then works to put them in the best fishing locations and situations. A great guide is friendly and will teach, listen, and work with you to make your fishing experience the best it can be. We've assembled a team of guides that have many years of fishing experience and over 60 years of combined experience in the fly fishing guide service. These guys are noted Tennessee fly fishing guides, Georgia fly fishing guides, and Cumberland river fly fishing guides. When you fish with us, you'll know you've fished with the best.
