Your Foothills Fly Guide

Josh Hobson, owner of Your Foothills Fly Guide, grew up in the quiet landscapes of Jonesville, NC, where his love for fishing began at a young age. Spending countless hours exploring his grandfather’s ponds, casting for bluegill and bass, he developed a deep appreciation for the water and the natural world. These early experiences laid the foundation for what would become a lifelong passion and career.

As the head guide and owner of Your Foothills Fly Guide, Josh now leads anglers through the pristine rivers of North Carolina’s Foothills, where the rugged landscapes and thriving aquatic life create the perfect environment for fly fishing. To him, these waters are more than just a fishing destination—they are a place of peace, challenge, and inspiration, offering a deep connection to nature and the art of the sport.

Specializing in euro nymphing, Josh has refined his ability to present flies with precision, a skill developed through years of dedication and practice. He views each fishing trip as an opportunity to adapt, learn, and grow, ensuring that every client experiences the best of North Carolina’s renowned trout and bass fishing.

Beyond his expertise as a guide, Josh is passionate about sharing his love for fly fishing with others. Through patient instruction and a strong commitment to conservation, he hopes to inspire anglers of all skill levels to appreciate and protect the waterways that have given him so much.
