  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!

  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!

  Perect Smoky Mountain Morning

  Half Day Trip (AM) on August 19, 2026 • 2 adults

  My son and I had a fantastic time on the lake with Nathan. He was ready to go at the boat ramp early with the perfect boat for the trip and knew exactly where to go on the lake to put us on the fish. We caught my son’s personal best crappie, and I caught I very cool flathead catfish, a species I had never caught before, in addition to smallmouth and largemouth bass. At one point we tripled up! The lake is alive and Nathan made it happen for us,

  Highlight of Our 20th Wedding Anniversary Trip...Incredible Day on Douglas Lake!

  Half Day Trip (PM) on November 5, 2025 • 2 adults

  My wife and I came to Tennessee for our 20th wedding anniversary to enjoy the usual tourist attractions, but we also decided to spend a half day on the water doing what we love...fishing. It turned out to be the highlight of our entire trip! Captain Nathan was amazing. We caught 7 bass (4 largemouth and 3 smallmouth), with the biggest weighing just over 4 lbs. Back home, we’re used to bottom or bobber fishing, but Nathan patiently walked us through different techniques that work best on Douglas Lake. All we had to do was follow his clear instructions, and they worked! Before the trip, he communicated often to make sure we were prepared for the weather and to understand our fishing preferences. He built a plan tailored to our experience level, blending familiar methods with new ones to help us learn and have fun. On top of being a great guide, Nathan is just an all-around great guy. We’ve been on many guided fishing trips, and this one ranks among the very best. If you’re heading to Douglas Lake, don’t hesitate to book with Nathan Mountain Outdoors, you will not be disappointed! Easily a 5+ star experience! Thank you, Captain Nathan, for helping us make another special memory to add to our 20+ years together!

  Nathan was amazing

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

  We had a great time fishing with Nathan. Even though Mother Nature was not nice to us, we still had fun and caught fish. If you are looking for a person that is fun to fish with and knows how to fish the lake, Nathan is the person to contact. Thank you Nathan!
