Meet Guide William Guy

For William Guy, a life spent as a Lake Ray Hubbard fishing guide is the natural result of a lifelong obsession with the water. Rather than a sudden career shift, his path into professional guiding was paved by years of quiet observation, studying the intricate movements of local fish populations and mastering the specific patterns of the North Texas region. To William, fishing is a complex puzzle involving water temperature, barometric pressure, and bait migration. He approaches every morning on the water with a genuine curiosity and a deep-seated drive to translate his technical knowledge into success for his guests. His focus is always on the "why" behind the bite, helping anglers understand the strategy involved in a productive day.

The true reward for William isn’t found in his own catches, but in the confidence built by those who step onto his deck. He finds his greatest inspiration in the moments where a guest masters a new casting technique or lands a species they previously found elusive. He often recalls a particularly meaningful trip involving a group of four children, including one with special needs, who collectively landed over 40 fish. While the numbers were impressive, the memory that remains with him is the pride and smiles on their faces. It is this patient, expert-led approach that has made him a trusted name for Rowlett, TX fishing trips, as he prioritizes the individual experience and the lasting memories created on the lake.

Navigating the unique challenges of Lake Ray Hubbard requires a guide who respects the environment's unpredictability. William specializes in managing the lake’s notorious shifting winds and changing water clarity, turning potentially difficult conditions into strategic advantages. He views the ever-changing nature of the "Wild One" waters as a call to innovate, frequently adjusting his tactics from vertical jigging to specialized drifting to keep the action consistent. This adaptability, combined with an approachable and encouraging demeanor, ensures that whether you are a first-time angler or a seasoned veteran, you are learning from a professional who is as invested in the day’s success as you are.

The Boat: A High-Performance Platform

Every trip is supported by the speed and stability of the "Wild One," a 21’ Yamaha jet boat specifically selected for its ability to navigate the unique terrain of Lake Ray Hubbard. Powered by dual 110hp engines, the vessel cruises at 35 knots, allowing William to reach remote fishing grounds and uncrowded honey-holes that standard props simply cannot access. The boat is outfitted with the latest GPS and high-definition fish-finding technology to pinpoint schools with precision. Designed to accommodate up to six guests comfortably for fishing (and up to nine for tours), the "Wild One" also features a multimedia system to keep the atmosphere light between spots. It is a reliable, fast, and meticulously maintained platform designed to maximize your time with a line in the water.
