Susan Thrasher
Fly Fisher/Guide/Instructor/Author
Susan Thrasher started fishing at a young age with her dad in East Tennessee and has been passionate about the outdoors all of her life. In 2004 she started Southern Brookies Fly Fishing, a guide service and instructional school, based in Nashville, Tennessee. She left a successful engineering career in 2015 to venture into the business full-time.
Her passion for fly fishing lead her to serve as the co-founder of the Music City Fly Girls, a women’s fly fishing group, and to serve as the middle Tennessee retreat leader for Casting For Recovery, a program focused on breast cancer survivors and the healing nature of fly fishing.
