The only way JT Van Zandt lives his life is in the moment — a habit self-instilled at an early age. With a famous father always on tour and a mother hard at work, JT was often left to his own devices growing up, but made the most of his summers by exploring every corner of the outdoors. He was constantly searching for what he could learn more about and what made him the happiest - and that's when he discovered fly fishing. From the second JT picked up a cane pole he knew it was the one activity he wanted to be a part of his life forever. For years he practiced, using his in-the-moment mantra to spark ideas and work as hard as he could. Today, he's a passionate fly fishing guide, boat builder, and ardent environmentalist.
