Capt. Kent Klewein

Owner & Head Guide

Bass & Trout

Kent Klewein made the decision to become a fly fishing guide at the young age of 10. All it took was one guided fishing trip that his father took him on for his 10th birthday. Every day following you'd find Kent on one of his local streams or lakes honing his fishing skills until dinner time.

Upon graduation from college with his Bachelor's in Business Administration and completion of Bressler Oufitters fly fishing guide school out of Jackson, WY in 2000, Kent began his guiding career full-time in North Georgia & North Carolina. In 2001, he established Reel Job Fishing, LLC, a fly fishing and conventional guide service targeting trout and bass throughout the southeast. Kent's well known for being the top guide for putting clients on trophy rainbow and brown trout on the Toccoa River and its tributaries located in North Georgia. On his off days you'll find him in his Ranger bass boat chasing big smallmouth and largemouth bass on the fly.

Kent's been recognized in publications and media such as The Southeast's Best Fly Fishing, by Author James Buice, American Angler Magazine, The Flyfish Journal, The Drake, Fly Fusion, Georgia Sportsman MagazineTrout Unlimited MagazineESPN The Fly Fishing Masters, and Aarons Outdoors - Pursuit Channel. He also has been featured on the internet radio show, Ask About Fly Fishing, hosted by D. Roger Maves. You've probably seen him in fly fishing catalogs for Scott Fly Rods, Korkers, and Redington.

Kent Klewein is on the Pro Staff for the following manufacturers: Scott Fly Rods, Nautilus Reels, Korkers, Smith Optics and Rio Fly Lines & Tippet. 

"I’m a very serious angler, and I don’t accept defeat easily. I fish hard and try to learn something new each time I’m on the water. The pursuit and hunt never gets old to me and each fish that’s tricked with the proper fly choice and presentation strengthens my feeling that being a guide is what I was put on this planet to do". Kent Klewein
