My name is Greg Williams. I grew up in Western Kentucky.  It's there that my fishing story begins. I have great childhood memories of tag along fishing trips with my dad several uncles and my brother. My fishing interest began as my dad started taking my brother, sister and I along on fishing trips to Reelfoot Lake in Southwest Tennessee where he grew up. I was fascinated with Reelfoot cypress knobs, lily pads, snakes, and slab bluegill and crappie that fought like sharks when hooked.  I still love to fish there.  After a while, our trips started to include Barkley and Kentucky lakes famed for their large mouth bass. A rod was always in my hand.

 

After high school, I joined the military and was able to travel a bit. I encountered a wide variety of fishing situations from the Adirondacks in upstate New York to the Little Red and White Rivers in Arkansas. I moved to Lexington, Kentucky, not long after military service and took a job that placed me on the road quite a bit. During my travels over the next 6 years, I was able to fish several times in Japan, Green River (UT), Crows Nest River (Canada), Little Red and White Rivers (AR), a great number of small streams in Wyoming, Colorado, Washington, and too many streams to count in the Smoky Mountains.

I was introduced to the Cumberland River once my travels quieted. For the past 15 years, I've cut my teeth on Cumberland River trout. I've fished with tons of friends and family on the Cumberland figuring out trout behavior, habits, and generation schedules. I grew tired of being asked to guide, so here I am. I'm married to a beautiful and terribly smart woman and have two amazing little girls (9 and 11 years old) who keep me on my toes. So now that you know a little bit about me, I would love to have opportunity to show you just how impressive fly fishing  on the Cumberland River truly is.
