Norris Lake Has
Always Been Home
It's where I first learned to fish — and now it's where I teach others to fish.
Log 01 · The Short Version
Born On This Water
Some guides find a lake. This one raised me. I grew up fishing these coves and creek mouths, learned to read the fog and the sonar the hard way, and turned the thing I love most into Big Reels — so visitors from all over and neighbors from down the road can feel what a first-light striper run on Norris is like.
Every trip runs out of Lakeview Marina, right here in Rocky Top. One trip a day, the best four hours of it, with everything provided but your cooler.
