Troy has over 40 years of fly fishing experience, and Kingsport, Tennessee is where he calls

home. Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Northeast Tennessee is truly a fly

fishing paradise. Most recently, in 2015, Troy was appointed the position of head guide for The

South Holston River Company, based in Piney Flats, Tennessee. “The South Holston and

Watauga tail waters maintain a consistent water temperature, and that gives anglers the

opportunity to get on the water and catch amazing wild brown trout, and rainbow trout, nearly

any day of the year.”

The fish nearest and dearest to Troy’s heart is the Smallmouth Bass. Most off days, that’s

where you’ll find him, throwing big flies to big bronze backs. “I more or less grew up fishing the

waters of Wisconsin, and bass can be found almost anywhere the water warms up enough for

them to thrive.”
