Louisianna Redfish Trips

Logan Huff

Diamond State Fly Shop Owner

Local Fly Fishing Guide

Logan will present on his experience leading an annual hosted fly fishing trip to Louisianna for Bull Red Fish. This all-inclusive adventure takes care of everything once you arrive: comfortable lodging, delicious meals, and plenty of cold drinks after long days on the water. You’ll spend three days aboard a shared boat with experienced guides who know where the big ones live. The only things not included are your fishing license, travel, and gratuity.

Logan was born and raised just a few miles north in West Plains, MO but considers the White and Norfork Rivers his "home waters". Logan had a fly rod in his hand from the moment he could walk and was taught by his late father who instilled the love of the sport into him. Logan spent the first 7 years after college as a Junior High and High School special education teacher, but the river kept calling his name. Logan soon found himself working in a local fly shop on weekends and during summer break. It didn't take long until Logan was guiding and working in the shop full time. Since being an educator, Logan is now using his skills to teach others how to fly fish and how to catch our trophy browns. When not in the shop or guiding, you can still probably find him on the river enjoying some time on the water with his family.
