About the guideJack Smith, known as Jack, is a fly fishing guide based in Chapel Hill, NC who spends much of his season on the Crystal Coast out of 70 West Marina in Morehead City. He guides inshore flats and sandbar water across the Crystal Coast, Cape Fear Coast, Down East areas of North Carolina and the Paradise Coast out of Chokoloskee, FL.
Jack brings a calm, patient approach to the water and focuses on clear, practical instruction—casting fundamentals, line management, sight-fishing on saltgrass and sand, and reading flats—to help anglers of all levels build skill and confidence.
He runs a 2022 Drake Outlaw bay boat (17 ft, capacity 3) for inshore outings and fishes primarily with a Mauser Fly Fishing Waterman 9' fast-action 8wt, Hatch Iconic reel, and Airflo Superflo Flats floating line. He rigs flies for sight-fishing and can provide client gear as needed.
Whether you’re new to the fly or sharpening existing skills, Jack aims to leave you more capable, more confident, and more connected to the rhythm of the water. Coast to Crest Carolina LLC.
