Jared D Host Profile

Hi, I'm Jared

I've been a member since April 2021

Tennessee’s premier fly fishing experience. Founded with a passion to give anglers the upscale trip they deserve. With locations across Middle Tennessee, targeted species range from trout to Muskellunge.

Our owner and head guide, Captain Jared, has over 30 years of combined angling and guiding experience. As a child growing up in the Midwest, he fished farm ponds, streams, and lakes for warm water species with gear. As years went on, he became very adept in chasing Bass and other species with conventional gear. His focus became preparing to fish tournaments for bass. He was backed by multiple industry leading tackle and gear companies and won youth casting competitions in the late 90’s. Directions changed after Relocating to the southeast in the mid 2000’s. While continuing to fish, he found it was more fulfilling to share the passion of fishing with others. In 2008 he took a break from guiding and fishing in order to serve his country in the United States Marine Corps. He became hooked on fly fishing in 2009 after fly fishing for the first time on the Hiwassee River located in East Tennessee. From then on, he attended every fly fishing class or event he could find. After spending as much of his free time on the water as he could, he started to realize there was nothing more fulfilling than guiding others. He attended the Sweetwater Guide school in 2017, Captains School to become a USCG Licensed Captain, and is a Wilderness First Responder. He regularly states, “I’d rather give anglers their best day on the water, than be fishing myself.”
