Adam has been guiding and teaching the art of fly fishing since 2008 and has been very fortunate to have done so in beautiful areas such as Colorado, New Mexico, Alaska, Montana, Florida, Tennessee, the Bahamas and South Carolina. Growing up in Knoxville, TN was the perfect playground for a young angler. Surrounded by lakes and rivers and being in the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains, it was easy to find a bass or trout to help gain the knowledge that has elevated his journey.
After guiding for trout out in the Rocky Mountains and Alaska for over a decade, Adam began to pine for the salty fish and the flats that they inhabit. While he is still passionate about trout fishing, it’s the opportunity to sight fish for a variety of species that love to eat flies and fight like there’s no tomorrow is what he lives for!
Adam and his beautiful wife Kass are grateful to call Charleston home and he loves taking new and old clients out fishing in the lowcountry and showing them the beautiful landscape that surrounds us as well as the fish that occupy it. When he’s not guiding he is tying flies, playing with his dog Brew and hosting trips to exotic locations around the world.
Year-round, low tide fishing is our approach, essential for visually locating our target before casting. With a focus on being the hunters of fishing, we pole the skiff over mud flats, around oyster bars, and near grass banks where redfish seek food. Precision is key; we assess their direction and present the fly within their visibility range. Throughout most of the year, redfish are often solitary or in small groups, offering diverse chances. As seasons shift, water clarity changes. Fall to winter yields exceptionally clear water, ideal for sight casting. During this period, redfish form larger schools of 10 to 200 fish, allowing skilled anglers to select targets strategically from the school's periphery.

Experience a distinctive method of redfish hunting within a controlled environment. Redfish gather at creek edges, awaiting tides to access prey like crabs, shrimp, and baitfish. Signs of their presence include water movement, surface disturbances, or bottom feeding. During flood tides, they target crabs, their tails protruding from the water in a behavior called tailing, an exhilarating sight. This approach allows close proximity due to their focus on feeding. Precise casting near their head's direction yields rewarding results, capitalizing on their feeding behavior.
