The French Broad River is great fishery that produces some nice fish. The section that has fish runs from Douglas dam all the way to Knoxville. This stretch of water offers great bass and walleye fishing. We typically fish for about 4 hours. If you are visiting the Gatlinburg /Pigeon Forge/ Sevierville area this stretch of river is a great choice.

Captain Jason is a patient and fun-loving guide who loves guiding on the Clinch, Holston, and French Broad rivers. Jason has guided these areas for 20+ years but has lived and fished here his entire life.

Captain Jason offer full and half day trips for families and friends alike! Captain Jason usually targets Trout, Smallmouth bass, Striper, and the occasional Musky.

His boat is a 18ft Stealthcraft Powerdrifter Jet and can run in shallow water that very few other vessels
can access. Captain Jason likes to fly fish but keeps his boat loaded full of spinning and fly fishing gear. Jason realizes that not everyone wants to fly fish so he makes sure he can accommodate every angler at any skill set!

Jason was a great guide! He was knowledgeable, had everything we needed and was really cool to hang with on the boat. He taught my son so many tricks and my son caught his biggest fish ever.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.
We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.
Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.
Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
