Meet your guides
Capt. Chase Pritchett
Capt. Chase as spent most of his adult life as a guide in TN, GA, and NC. Hosting trips to Louisiana for the last 10 years as well. Chase’s area of expertise includes casting instruction for all abilities and grinding out tough days to create incredible memories. A graduate of Appalachian State University in Biology, Chase pays very close attention to detail in the health of our local waters advocating for a clean fishery.
“As a lifetime professional guide, I am most excited to take beginners fishing. Getting to relive those first moments when fly fishing really grabbed onto my soul is what I live for. The way a person’s whole world lights up when they catch that first fish on a fly keeps the fire in me. I also love to watch my clients grow as anglers. Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of taking a lot of the same people fishing and seeing how the have progressed is very rewarding. The most important part of my job is sharing what I have found to be the most pure form of letting go of oneself.
That being said, I am committed to helping you grow as an angler and experience success.”
When not on the water, Chase enjoys spending time with wife and co-owner, Misty and their Boxer “Bubba.”
