The Genuine Article JT VAN ZANDT Fly Fishing Guide

One of the poets of our great state of Texas, JT Van Zandt is a well known fly fishing guide and conservationist. Based out of Rockport, Texas, JT ties his own fly patterns and puts a heavy emphasis on an authentic Texas coast experience for each and every one of his clients. Like his father, the great, late Towns Van Zandt, JT also writes, sings and plays guitar.

He celebrates and thrives in the natural world around us, and demands an authentic product, which is why our partnership has been a perfect fit from the beginning. Before Epic Western, JT would make his famous “Bay Water” cocktail when he got back from a charter trip. Now all he has to do is ice some cans down and enjoy a true Ranch Water with his clients after a great day on the water.
