Zach Hart

A native of Walhalla, SC, Zach cut his teeth on the Wild and Scenic Chattooga River. Before coming to us, he spent time living and working on the Headwaters of Arkansas River in Leadville, CO. Zach has a great sense of humor, is very patient and is super fishy. If you want to hunt for bigger fish, Zach is your guide.

He is an absolute asset to our team; his knowledge of how to target a variety of fish, fix any boat or work like a single mom on the 2nd shift at Waffle House, make him a keeper.
