About

Growing up in southern Virginia, I was surrounded by rivers, lakes, and woods that became my second home. From an early age, I spent countless hours fishing and hunting, learning not just the skills, but also the rhythms of the natural world. That deep connection to the outdoors shaped who I am and instilled in me a desire to share those experiences with others. Guiding gave me the perfect outlet—to help people connect with the water, the fish, and the landscape in the same meaningful way I did growing up. Whether it’s chasing smallmouth in the rivers, stripers on the lakes, or redfish on the coast, each trip is a chance to pass on that passion.

I had not fished Kerr Lake and Zach's Threadfin Guide Service was highly recommended as the best. I booked a multi-day trip and enjoyed every day of it! Zach is an excellent guide and passionate about providing a satisfying fishing experience. I have a few years' fishing experience, and I'm currently focused on the craft of angling. His knowledge of the lake and fishing regulations was impressive. Zach kept us on the fish and generously shared tips that improved my casting and retrieving techniques. I look forward to going back in 2026!

Zach was a wonderful guide. He worked very hard to find the fish, and was a pleasure to be with for a full day.

Worst possible conditions for a bite to happen, but that didn't stop Zach from working his tail off to find fish.

We had a great afternoon and evening catching spotted bass, largemouth bass, and of course stripers. This was our first time targeting bass (I’m a trout fisherman ) and he explained a lot about their feeding patterns and biology. It was a great experience for me and my 11 year old God son.
