Capt. Greg Arnold

Greg Arnold is the proverbial Godfather of the bayou.  From his home in uptown New Orleans he presides over hundreds of square miles of marsh from Cocodrie to Venice to St. Benard.  Zipping through metropolitan traffic with his Chittum Skiff  in tow, he knows all the best redfish flats, Nawlin’s eateries, and shortcuts to get to them.  Greg began fishing with his great uncle who ran a state lake in Tennessee when he was a kid. He took up fly fishing in college as an elective course that also included bowling.  Needless to say, he was a natural when it came to fish and particularly big fish,  and has gone on to distinguish himself in that field of study.  He has many state and IGFA records as guide, including the largest Redfish on fly, a whopping 41 pounder caught by Conway Bowman.  Greg also spends several months every year fishing for tarpon in Carrabelle Fl. Occasionally he is known to transport Oysters and crawfish to south florida in exchange for 30 pound permit!  If you want a shot at a world record Red, a trophy tarpon, or just a chance to spend the day with one of fly fishing’s biggest personalities, WorldANGLING has an audience with the Don himself and would be happy to make the connection.   Just be careful or you may sleep with the fishes!
