Nathan Mountain outdoors specializes in getting groups on big Bass in the lakes nestled around the Great Smoky Mountains. Battle fish that really put the 'large' in Largemouth in one of the most scenic fisheries in the country!

You will be fishing from a 19' Tracker Grizzly jon boat. This hardy vessel is perfect for exploring the lake's shallow fringes in search of Bass. She is also at home in the deepest reaches of the lake, where her GPS and fishfinder make tracking down the best spots a breeze.

Captain Nathan Mountain has been running charters for over 15 years and also competes in tournaments around the state and beyond. He knows these waters like the back of his hand, and will always go the extra mile in search of that trophy Bass.

The Largemouth bite is best from spring through fall but even in the depths of winter, you can find a few Bass lurking in the lake. There's always something to fish for in Douglas Lake!

All Nathan Mountain Outdoors trips come with quality tackle, lures, and great fun. Just bring your food, drinks, and the desire to catch some great fish. Even if you're running short, Capt. Nathan has enough passion and enthusiasm to share!

    A True Vacation Highlight!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an awesome fishing morning on Douglas Lake with Captain Nate! It was a real treat to be able to fish in the Tennessee River system. We caught many fish (small & large mouth bass and catfish) thanks to his expertise. He brought us to the fish and expertly set us up without blinking an eye and did it all while having great conversation. A true professional and great guy! It was a truly amazing highlight of our vacation! We enjoyed every bit of it! Thanks Captain Nate!

    Great Trip on the Lake

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 13, 2026 • 2 adults

    I booked a trip for me and my daughter with captain Nathan for a guided trip on Douglas Lake. We both had a great time fishing and Nathan was great coaching my daughter with tips and techniques fishing a plastic worm which she hadn’t had experience fishing. During the trip we battled the wind most of the day but Nathan managed to help us put fish in the boat. We caught a variety of species throughout the day and my daughter caught her personal best big fish which she was totally excited about. Would highly recommend booking a trip with Nathan Mountain. He’s very personable, a wealth of knowledge with fishing and wonderful to spend time with on the water. He also supplied all the equipment and tackle which makes it even easier to enjoy fishing without the all hassle. Thank you Nathan Mountain for a great fishing trip!

    FUN WITH MY SONS

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 7, 2026 • 4 adults

    The water was really warm so the fish were moving slow. The fishing guide got us on the fish early. It was fun for us even if we didnt catch a bunch of fish. A slow day fishing is better than a good day at work. The guide was great and i would definitely fish with him again.

    Great time with Captain Nate

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 3, 2026 • 3 adults

    Went on a morning trip with Captain Nathan and he was a pleasure to be with. Fishing can be tough in the heat of the summer but he still got us some nice fish. Hope to visit Tennessee again and I will be going out with Nathan outdoors again.

    Great day on the lake

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    Windy day, tough conditions. Nathan was still able to put us on fish, keep the boat positioned, and give us great opportunities to catch them. He did a great job on a challenging weather day. We thoroughly enjoyed him and caught some nice bass. Very well prepared guide, very friendly, extremely knowledgeable.
