Roland F. Wagner, Jr. is a Husband, Dad, pitbull lover, soccer enthusiast, and longtime waterman. Originally from New Jersey, Roland has called Charleston, SC home since 1994. He has many trades to his name including fly fisherman, wade guide, informal instructor, and tutor. His passion lies in helping beginner fly fisherman improve their skills so they can enjoy the sport as a life-long hobby (or addiction if you ask Roland).

Zach Markow is a fly fisherman and guide out of Beaufort, SC. He goes for redfish but also spends a great amount of time in Venice, FL where he goes after the prized tarpon and snook. He’s 18 years old and has been fly fishing for 6 years. He started the sport in 7th grade and was only one of two people who actually fly fished.

Zack Hearn is a pest control technician during the week but a serious angler on the weekends. He was born and raised in Orlando, Florida where he still currently resides. He was first introduced to fishing as a young child and boy did he run with it.

Capt. Justin Napior grew up fishing the waters of Southwest Florida . He wishes he had one of those cool stories like his grandpa or dad got him into Fishing but that’s not the case. What he does have is memories of watching Bill dance outdoors as a kid and going behind his grandparents house and fishing all of the freshwater lakes for large mouth bass with his buddies.

Daniel had a pretty normal upbringing. He grew up in a one stoplight (literally) town, with not much to do. But it was surrounded by water, so after school and during the summer naturally him and his buddies were by the lake or on the river, swimming, fishing, catching snakes. Daniel’s dad was really the one who got him into fishing but he was, and still is, a catfisherman and crappie angler
