Half Day Trip (PM) • 1 adultThe Caney Fork is beautiful. Go in the morning when it’s quiet, the wildlife is active, and its just you and the river. Brian is a great fly fishing teacher, very patient with inexperienced anglers. He knows where the fish are, and will do his best to tech you how to catch them.

Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adultsMan this was such a great trip. Captain Brian reached out to me the week of our trip. He was there bright and early with everything ready to go. He brought drinks, snacks, extra gear for me to use/try out if mine wasn’t getting it done. But boy oh boy does this man know how to get you on the fish. Right away we were landing good size rainbow and brown trout. He gave me plenty of pointers and made sure I was getting my monies worth out of this trip. I will definitely be booking with him again in the near future! I feel like a made a new good fishing friend today! Thanks Brain!

Half Day Trip (AM) • 1 adultBrian picked me up at 5:30am and after a one hour drive we entered the water in a wonderful foggy morning. What a scenery When sun came out, eating the fog it was a gorgeous morning with active fishes. Water was high but very Dushanbe. We caught 3 rainbows , released them again as we continue to travel further south When you are around Nashville give Brian a shout. You can’t get a better or more experienced guide and he is a great company too Thanks Capt‘n Brian. I might be back. Siegfried

Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults • 1 childThe trip was outstanding. My youngest son and I went out on Caney Fork with Brian. We were both rookies and wanted to learn how to fly fish. Brian is extremely knowledgeable and has a ton of experience. He was a great teacher and was patient with our rookie mistakes. We caught a lot of Rainbow Trout and had a blast. Brian communicated very well in preparation of the trip and searched for best places to go for the best conditions. He has many options and knows the areas to go very well. Awesome trip.

The Caney Fork has been on ? Fire! Grea
May 17, 2026 • Nashville
Most fish target the Pheasant tail pattern. Hot spot, or flash back size 16 have been the ticket!! The Midge will always get you a fish. When the rig together at 2.5’ from indicator to the flies with a 6” separation from eachother will catch some fish.

Zack is one of my favorite clients. He fishes hard and like me i forget to eat somthing or drink amything…. He did a great job and he landed a brown trout to take off his bucket list. We missed a bruser of a rainbow trout over 20”. It was chilly but knowone was around, so it was really a great day to be on the water.
