Why Fish with Billy Flatt? The short of it about Billy is, he knows his stuff. He has been fishing these waters for 50 years. If you've got a minute I think you will enjoy reading the next story, it is about his life and how he became a fishing guide. Billy is a Nashville native, raised close to Percy Priest Lake. As a boy Billy would ride his bicycle to the lake and fish from the bank on a regular basis. As a young boy, Crappie was among his favorites. One could imagine the building of a lake in a small community was the talk of the town. Well, in 1968 Percy Priest Lake was at full pool. Billy was 13 years old when a neighbor who had a boat asks him if he wanted to go to the new lake to fish. He said he was so excited and couldn't believe is eyes when he saw the big lake for the first time. The roads he had ridden on in his parent's car were gone, covered with up to 100' of water. He remembers putting in at Elm Hill boat ramp. There wasn't a marina there then just the boat ramp. He recalls going out of Elm Hill Cove across the lake to Bear Island. The first place he wet a line was at the Old Hickory Boulevard Road Bed where it runs upon the north side of Bear Island. Although you can still make out the old roads to this day, he said it looked a lot different in 1968. There were still lines on the roads coming out of the water. He has actually fished Percy Priest Lake since it was a lake. After a few years Billy had saved enough money to buy a car. A boat purchased was close behind. He often would spend several days on the water at a time, sleeping on the boat. As he got older although he continued to fish, life happened. He got married had kids and worked a job that required long hours. He didn't get to fish as much as he would have liked, but little did he know things would change someday. Over the years Billy changed professions and didn't have as much hourly demand on him as he did earlier in his life. He recalls his new job didn't pay as good, but he has more spare time than he has had since he was a kid. Guess what he started doing on a regular basis, yep fishing. It wasn't until the early 2000's when a friend ask him to go on a guided fishing trip to catch Stripers, that things started changing for Billy. He fell in love with these Big saltwater fish. In late 2004 he and his son Cody who was 14 at the time started fishing Striper tournaments. They did very well, winning Angler Of The Year for the next three years in a row. The word spread of Billy & Cody's success in the winning of the Angler Of The Year awards. Sharing the love of fishing over the years Billy made several friends that were fishing guides. In 2005 one of them asked him if he wanted to do a guide trip for him. With the same excitement as he had as a young boy when he saw Percy Priest Lake for the first time, he said yes, I would. Well, he didn't know it at the time, but that first paid guided fishing trip was the start of a new and long career. That same year Billy sold his business and has been a full-time fishing guide ever since.

En Uforglemmelig Fisketur til 80-års Fødselsdagen
2 Timer – KORT TUR - 9:30 AM den October 6, 2026 • 2 voksne
Jeg tog min far med på en fisketur til hans 80-års fødselsdag, og vi kunne ikke have ønsket os en bedre oplevelse. Vi havde begge en fantastisk tid, og han fangede nogle virkelig store fisk! Billy var fantastisk – imødekommende, venlig og en fremragende guide. Han havde alt, hvad vi havde brug for, så alt vi skulle gøre var at møde op og stige om bord. Man kan tydeligt mærke, at Billy kender søen som sin egen bukselomme og ved præcis, hvor man finder fiskene. Det var en fantastisk tur og et særligt minde fra min fars 80-års fødselsdag. Jeg kan varmt anbefale Billy til alle, der leder efter en god fiskeguide og en dejlig dag på vandet!

Fiskeri med Billy
2 Timer – KORT TUR - 11:30 AM den August 7, 2026 • 2 voksne
Min søn og jeg kom til Nashville fra Idaho for at finde en fisketur og have det sjovt et par timer, mens vi var der til en konference. Jeg fandt Billy Flatt Fishing! Det var virkelig sjovt, Cody, vores guide, var vidende, sjov og venlig at være sammen med og gjorde oplevelsen så god som mulig. Vi fangede nogle Hybrid Striped Bass og nogle stribet bars i de par timer, vi havde. Cody gik ud over det sædvanlige for at holde stængerne i vandet, mens vi lavede trolling på søen. Hvis du leder efter et sjovt og hurtigt eventyr, ville dette være en fantastisk idé for at have det sjovt. Tak, Cody, for at guide os på denne tur! Håber at komme tilbage og fiske igen!

Mirakuløs korttur nogensinde!
2 Timer – KORT TUR - 11:30 AM den September 17, 2026 • 2 voksne
Fordi det var en så kort tur, håbede jeg bare på at fange i det mindste noget. Men kaptajn Billy var så dygtig til at finde de rigtige steder, at min mand og jeg på en time tilsammen fangede 3 relativt store stribet bars og hvid bars samt 4 mellemstore fisk, så vi næsten nåede vores limit. Det eneste jeg vil tilføje er, at I bør tage is og en køleboks med, da der ikke er nogen på båden. De fleste steder vi har fisket før, sørger bådejeren normalt for det. Men denne fisketur er kun beregnet til fang og gensæt, og det fremgår ikke af hjemmesiden.

Overgik forventningerne!
5 Timer – DET BEDSTE VALG - 11:30 den July 16, 2026 • 5 voksne • 1 barn
Denne tur var fantastisk. Jeg tog fire teenagere med, og de elskede hvert eneste minut af det. Vi landede 13 fisk på 5 timer og havde i alt 17 bid. Billy var fantastisk til at bevæge sig rundt på søen for at prøve nye spots. Min 12-årige landede en kæmpe Stribet bars! Det var både en fantastisk fisketur og en smuk bådtur! Han var så god til at få børnene engageret! Jeg kan varmt anbefale denne tur og ville gøre det igen, når vi kommer tilbage til Nashville.

Det var en fantastisk tur! Han sagde, at morgenturen var lidt langsom for hans kunder, men jeg håbede, at det ikke var tilfældet! Han sagde, at hvis de bider godt om morgenen, vil eftermiddagsturen måske være bedre!
5 Timer – DET BEDSTE VALG - 11:30 den July 19, 2026 • 4 voksne • 1 barn
Han levede op til mine forventninger og overgik dem!! Han var tålmodig, da nogle i mit selskab var forsinkede, og han ventede på dem!! Vi ramte fisken lige efter vi satte agnene i vandet! Vi landede 6 og havde 4 yderligere der faldt af inden vi nåede båden! Billy var fremragende som bådkaptajn og gjorde turen sjov for hele mit selskab! Ville bestemt booke ham som din guide!! Tak Billy!!
