RAA's Bob Borgwat leads a four-man team of dedicated, professional fishing guides armed with life-long angling experience that has seen them pursue game fish in a variety of settings around the world.  
Bass fishing at Lake Blue Ridge, Georgia

Bob Borgwat leads the guide team of
Reel Angling Adventures as owner,
administrator, web master and guide.
His freelance writing, which focuses
on both the fishing and hunting sports
across the US, qualifies him as an
active member of the Georgia Outdoor Writers Association.

At 55 years young, Bob's fishing experience in the southern Appalachian Mountains spans 22 years. A native Californian, he came to North Georgia in 1990 after living 15 years in Texas, where he honed his bass-fishing skills on the legendary lakes of East Texas.

Bob's angling fortunes stretch to the rivers of Wyoming's Rocky  Mountains, high-country streams of California's Cascade Mountains, the bays and bayous of the Mississippi Delta, the waterways of Nicaragua's Caribbean jungles, the bonefish flats of The Bahamas, the rocky shelves of Mozambique's Indian Ocean,  the mysterious rivers of southern Africa, and more.  Much of his angling experience -- both stateside and abroad -- has been captured in his own  words and photography, as am award-winning contributor of more than 100 magazine articles published as a freelance writer and

editor for state, regional, national and international fishing magazines. Bob also has frequently served as interim senior editor for 18 state titles of outdoors magazines published by Intermedia Outdoors in Marietta, Gerogia. He is an active member of the Blue Ridge Mountain chapter (#696) of Trout Unlimited where he heads up the Toccoa River Improvement Committee.

Bob’s passion for the pull of a fish on a fishing line never limits his scope in fishing – neither the fish, techniques, nor tackle for the job at hand. You’re just as likely to see him slinging plastic worms for smallmouth bass with conventional tackle as you are to see him flogging a favorite trout stream with a 4-weight fly rod.
