Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to fish many different waters across the US, and I’ve learned that hiring a great guide makes all the difference. A skilled guide not only knows the water but also understands the patterns, the timing, and how to consistently put you on fish. Zach is truly one of the finest guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of fishing with. Every single trip with him has been productive, and I’ve never come home without having fish in the net. His knowledge, work ethic, and attention to detail set him apart, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He’s fantastic with young’uns—so book a trip with your kids. Guaranteed fish, big smiles, and very tired kids by bedtime.

The folks at Shady Creek were amazing to deal with. They provided us with a great guide and all the gear we needed. And they put us in some good water where caught some nice rainbows and browns. You should definitely use them for your next trip!

Beautiful day on the Chattooga fishing with Zack and my son. Gleaned a lot of information about accessing the river, best ways to fish it etc. Our skill level probably challenged Zack a little bit, but he was great and worked hard to make it an enjoyable experience!

Zach and Trey were awesome. Everyone in the group had a great time and wants to do it again soon. The guides were very knowledgeable, patient with us beginners, and put us on some fish within the first 15 minutes.

Zac and Marcus did an amazing job with our group of six, including two 9 year olds. They made our first flying fishing trip memorable, adventurous and fun!
