About Your Guide

Jesse Forgety

Independent Guide
I believe every day on the water is an opportunity to enjoy God's creation, build lasting memories, and share a passion for fishing. My mission is rooted in the words of Matthew 4:19: "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

As a graduate of Lincoln Memorial University with a Bachelor's degree in Conservation Biology (Wildlife & Fisheries), I'm passionate about conserving our natural resources and promoting responsible fishing practices so future generations can enjoy the incredible fisheries of East Tennessee.

Beyond guiding, I also enjoy teaching anglers through my YouTube channel, Just Reel Fishing, where I share fishing tips, techniques, electronics, seasonal patterns, and adventures across East Tennessee's lakes and rivers. Whether you're picking up a rod for the first time or looking to become a more successful angler, my goal is to help you learn, grow, and enjoy every trip on the water
