    A True Vacation Highlight!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 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!

    Reported catch:

    Fishing with Nathan

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an awesome trip with Captain Nathan. He took us to 3 diffrent fishing locations. My son caught small and large mouth bass. Captain Nathan let him try out all his different fishing poles and different lures and gave him tips on how to use them. We had a fantastic time and learned a lot

    Perect Smoky Mountain Morning

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 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,

    Great Trip on the Lake

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 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!

    Beautiful morning on the water

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Fishing was tough, but Nathan had me on fish, they just wasn’t cooperating. Was able to still catch a few Smallmouth, Largemouth, crappie and even a walleye. . Nathan is a great guide and would go out with him again in a heartbeat.

    Thanks Brian!
