SERVICES: PROFESSIONAL GUIDES

 Jeff Hawthorne

I've been guiding for the Ozark Angler for the past six years. I'm originally from Melbourne Beach, Florida, where I fished for bass in both offshore and intracoastal waters. Fishing off the coast of Florida is one thing, but fly fishing in Arkansas is a whole other experience.

I have an extensive background in fly fishing on the Little Red River, North Fork River and the White River tailwaters. I use my own fly fishing boat and equipment when guiding clients.

Knowing each of the rivers so well provides me with the necessary experience needed for fly fishing in various weather conditions and changes in water levels. This allows me to help my clients catch fish when other fisherman are sometimes not doing too well.


My personal outlook I like to share with my clients is, "The worst day of fly fishing is far better than the best day at work." I have found guiding to be the most rewarding thing I've ever done, especially given the wonderful folks I've met over the years.


Client Testimonials About Jeff

Dear Tom (owner),

Just a note to tell Jeff how much I enjoyed my recent trip. I've pretty much resisted hiring guides in the past and now wonder why. Jeff certainly made me feel comfortable and may have converted a salt water fisherman. Our outstanding day on the water was only surpassed by his own wonderful nature and home spun sense of humor.

Thanks again.

Dear Jeff,

Thanks for showing my folks such a great time on the water yesterday.

I think you've given my dad some real deep-water fly fishing religion with your weighted sow-bug and drift boat technique. I saw that he had already posted something on the fishing report web site about what a great trip they had with you.

Thanks again, and see you soon. Best regards.

-- Scott Diel
