Meet the Team

Jon Hooper

General Manager

A native of upstate New York, Jon has been fishing & hunting all of his life and is a true outdoorsman. He has been with SHRL since day one and in the fly fishing industry for the last 20 years. Rest assure, he clearly knows the meaning of exceptional customer service & makes everyone’s stay at the lodge a memorable experience. Jon’s extremely high standards along with his diligent work ethic and attention to detail is just one of the many reasons that SHRL is so successful to this day. He possesses a strong commitment for conservation as well as his dedication to our U.S. veterans. Jon is just as comfortable running a week long trip down a remote river in Alaska as he is as the General manager of SHRL. When he has some free time you can bet bow hunting, fly fishing and enjoying the outdoors is at the top of his list.

Will Andersen

Lodge Owner

“In 2007 we purchased the property where we could enjoy time relaxing and hone our skills on some of the best fly-fishing waters in the country. I enjoyed this natural resource so much and knew others would as well, and that’s how the South Holston River Lodge was born. I hope you enjoy our little piece of heaven.”
