The name of the game around here is fly fishing, and that's exactly what you'll do. I've been fly fishing for over five decades and have been a guide for two plus decades. I've had the privilege of fishing in 42 states and three continents. I've fished both fresh and salt water. I also worked for Orvis and I currently teach fly fishing classes for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Jamestown KY. You may need to bring your own gear for this trip or rent some for an extra fee. You'll need to bring your own waders/wading shoes as I don't have those. Contact Mark ahead of time so you know what to expect and come prepared.
These waters hold game fish like Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Sunfish, and more if conditions are right.
Mark welcomes groups as large as 2 on this guided experience. You'll be fishing without a boat, so expect to make your way on foot at least part of the time and come dressed for current weather conditions.
Be sure to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group ahead of time. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply. Plan to dress in layers and appropriate footwear (if you aren't sure what that is, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and bottled water, no matter the weather.
And with that, you're ready to experience the great outdoors with Thank Goodness I Fly Fish!

Mark is a wealth of information and very patient. He not only showed us where to fish but how to as well. We got rained out about halfway through our time so unfortunately it was cut short. If you’re interested in fly fishing in anyway he is your guide
oh brother, thank you so much. I really enjoyed you both
From the time we made our reservation Mark had great communication with us. He prepared us well for the day's needs. Time flew by as we enjoyed the peacefulness of our surroundings. Mark was a wealth of information.
Thank you, Katie. Call me if you ever have questions. Mark

Your captain
I've been fly fishing for almost 50 years. I've fished all over the USA for almost all species. I was employed by Orvis for five years in the fly shop in Sevierville, TN. I currently teach fly fishing classes for the US Fish and Wildlife Services. I started fly fishing at 16 and have not fished with anything else the entire time. I only use Orvis gear with a few Hardy fly reels. I've been a guide for almost three decades and I am a fully licensed guide.
