At Living Waters Fly Guiding, we tie our own flies. These flies are tailored to experience and success on the Caney Fork River... as well as other nearby tailwaters. These flies are proven on spring creeks and freestones as well. Each fly is hand-made by the owner/operator of this site when the order is placed, and each fly order will take at least 7 - 10 days to create, process, and ship. All of our nymphs are provided in size 16 with 3.5mm beads, size 18 with 3.0mm beads, and size 20 with 2.5mm beads. This has become our proven universal sizing to ensure our nymphs consistently get into the strike zone with speed & accuracy.

“I can't say enough good things about BJ. He has the Caney Fork down to a science. Within the first two minutes, I hooked my first trout, and from there it was one after another all day long. I shattered my personal best on a fly rod at the Caney, landing 44 trout and missing countless more. Going into the trip, I told BJ my goal was to catch a 17-inch trout--and we made it happen! I'm absolutely stoked, especially since I have another trip coming up this Friday. Stay tuned for more action!"

"BJ West is one of a kind! What an incredible morning on the Caney Fork. I came hoping to learn a few things and catch a few fish. Your knowledge, patience, and coaching made all the difference. I not only caught more trout than I ever imagined, but also left a better angler than when I arrived. This man knows his stuff and I have NEVER seen anything like it. I highly recommend Living Waters Fly Guiding LLC to anyone looking for a first class experience on the water. Looking forward to getting my son out there next. Fly fishing at its best!"

“Where to begin? This man has the patience of Job. Several whacks on his head from my bad casting and numerous missed opportunities... and still caught 38! I would highly recommend BJ to beginners and seasoned anglers alike. He thinks like a trout. He knows where they are, what depth they hangout, I think he may even know each of them by name! Had my casting down pat (mostly) by the end of the trip. He'd see a bad cast, instantly yell out "recast!" Did I mention I can mend like a champ now? Yep! He taught me that too. By the end of it all, we had a great time. 5 stars, would recommend. I'll definitely be back for more instruction.”
"BJ is the most knowledgeable fly fisherman I have ever met! You will not regret a moment on the water with him and I can guarantee however many fish you were catching before, you will definitely be catching more after learning from him!"

"BJ is amazing. I went on a float trip with him and had my best day on the Caney ever. He was patient and took the time to help me correct my mistakes and explain why the corrections were so important. It was a game changer for me. I go fly fishing a lot but this trip made me a better angler I believe. I'm so grateful and had so much fun. Can't wait to go again. Thank you BJ"

"A great day on the water, from start to finish, on the Caney Fork with fish whisperer, trout hunter, and fishing coach BJ West. He is a veritable expert in the Caney Fork, and one of the best fishermen I've been around. He teaches like a coach. Every time you do what he coaches, it's an assist. Works every time. Brilliant. I learned a great deal working with Coach West, improving my backcast and my presentation. Made all the difference in the world. 64 fish landed in a 6 hour trip."
