Meet Your Guide
Jake Smith
Growing up in Northern California, fly fishing for trout wasn't even on my radar. However, this is where my fishing journey began with my father and grandfather. One of my earliest memories is sitting on a dock on the California Delta, casting for stripers. Several years later, I found myself living in Western North Carolina, picking up a fly rod for the first time, and the rest was history.
