Kevin releases a Striper
Kevin Arculeo guides north of Atlanta on Lake Sidney Lanier. He has also guided on the Chattahoochee River and several trophy trout streams in North Georgia. Before guiding, Kevin worked both full- and part-time during a three-year period at The Fish Hawk in Atlanta, Ga. -- the largest privately owned fly fishing shop east of the Mississippi River.
As an accomplished fly caster and instructor, Kevin is often called upon to teach fly tying and casting for adults and children. Several of his flies and instruction on how to tie them have been published -- including a recent feature in Saltwater Fly Fishing magazine.
He has participated in the Atlanta Fly-fishing Show as a featured fly tier and exhibitor. Kevin also competed in the Outdoor Life Network (OLN) Fly Fishing Masters competition where his team placed 15th overall.
However, his fishing experience spans far beyond the southeast. Kevin has fished throughout the world and continues to organize global fishing trips for his clients and friends alike. Some of these destinations include:
- Bonefishing in the Bahamas
- Bonefish, tarpon and permit fishing in Ascension Bay, Mexico
- Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys
- Bluefish and striped bass fishing in Cape Cod, Mass.
- False albacore fishing in The Outer Banks, N.C.
- Trophy trout fishing in the North Georgia mountains
- Trout fishing out West
Kevin is on fly fishing programs with The Fish Hawk and Sage and the fly fishing writer's program with Orvis.
