“True quality and craftsmanship best describe my Hyde Driftboat. I spend many days each year floating the rivers of East Tennessee in my Hyde Driftboat guiding clients for trout and smallmouth. I wanted a boat that gives my clients the comfort they deserve and provides the storage I need to take along all the supplies for a day on the water. The Hyde Driftboat gives you this and more. The way it handles in the water is second to none. I rowed other brands of boats when looking for a boat for my guide service. Once I rowed a Hyde, I knew that was what I would purchase. The design and engineering that go into a Hyde Drftboat are evident as soon as you sit down in the boat and begin rowing down the river. The boat is easy to maneuver and work through the various situations the rivers throw at you. Great customer service and a truly quality product, that is why I chose a Hyde Driftboat. I am proud to be on the Hyde Pro Staff.”

I am Randy Ratliff, owner and guide of Troutfishers Guide Service. I guide on the rivers and streams of East Tennessee including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I have a passion for the sport of fly fishing and hope to pass this along to my friends and clients. When I am not guiding, I can be found at my tying bench producing the proven local patterns I have developed over the years or on the water keeping in touch with the pulse of the rivers and streams. My Dad taught me to fish at a very young age, but my Grandfather was the one who influenced my migration to fly fishing. I have had the privilege to guide well know country and pop music stars Gary Morris, Dan Seals, and Jim Seals. Browns, bows, brookies, and bronzebacks are what you can fish for depending upon the type of trip or trips you choose. Give me a call today and let me take you on a great outdoor fishing experience.
Guides on: South Holston, Watauga, Holston, Clinch, Nolichucky, Pigeon, and French Broad Rivers
