Inside Guiding: Behind the Scenes

Join us today as we talk with local guides Drayton Moore, Braydon Wilhoit, and Corey J Smith about all the small details that go into a successful day on the water for their clients on the South Holston and Watauga Rivers.  We’ll discuss:

• How have the South Holston and Watauga been fishing?
• How many flies is it common to lose on a day out on the water?
• What are some of the major costs for guides behind the scenes?
• Should you tip extra if you break a rod?
• Is it normal to hook your guide?
• Guide sunburns
• What can you do to be a good client?
• Some of our guests’ best guiding memories from the year

We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed getting together and having this discussion.
