Captain Jeff Lattig an Orvis Endorsed Guide

We have been very busy the past few months wrapping up a busy Fishing Season. At Living Water Guide Service, we’re excited about everything happening in 2016! Back in February, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Orvis Guide Rendezvous, an event held in Asheville, North Carolina. It was an absolute blast!

For those unfamiliar, Orvis has been a leader in the fly fishing industry for many years, setting the standard for quality gear, conservation efforts, and professional guiding services. One of the standout moments of the event was the Down the Hatch Film Festival, which featured a collection of inspiring films showcasing exotic fishing destinations and powerful conservation stories.

The Orvis Guide Rendezvous is more than just an event—it’s an opportunity for fishing guides, outfitters, and industry professionals to connect, learn, and grow. From informative seminars to networking with like-minded anglers, it’s a chance to unwind and share experiences with others who are just as passionate about the sport. For me, the true highlight was reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.

This year also marks an exciting change in my relationship with Orvis. I’m proud to transition from an Orvis Pro Guide to an Orvis Endorsed Fishing Guide. It’s an honor to join a company that values professionalism, conservation, and the art of fly fishing. As one of only three Orvis Endorsed Fishing Guides in South Carolina, I’m incredibly grateful for this partnership and look forward to providing clients with top-tier guided fishing experiences.

Here’s to an exciting year ahead! Tight lines and see you on the water!
