Fishing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a passion at a young age quickly grew into a competitive pursuit that led me through high school and college bass fishing. Along the way, I earned recognition as a THSBA Angler of the Year competitor and continued competing at the collegiate level with East Texas Baptist University, experiences that shaped me into the angler and guide I am today.
While I love the competition of tournament fishing, my greatest reward now comes from helping others experience the excitement of finding and catching fish. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to sharpen your electronics skills or a family wanting to make memories on the water, my goal is simple—to help you become a better fisherman while making sure you have a great day on the lake.
As a younger guide, I understand what it's like to be a young angler trying to learn the sport. Because of that, I naturally enjoy teaching kids, teenagers, and new fishermen in a way that's easy to understand and builds confidence. I believe that no question is too small, and I take pride in making every trip educational, relaxed, and fun.
I specialize in bass and crappie fishing on Lake Sam Rayburn and East Texas waters, with a strong focus on modern electronics including Garmin , Humminbird, and Lowrance. My goal isn't just to put you on fish for the day, it's to teach you why the fish are there, how to find them yourself, and give you skills you can use every time you launch your boat.
When you book a trip with me, you're getting more than a guide or captain. You're getting someone who genuinely cares about your success, enjoys sharing knowledge, and wants every client to leave with lasting memories, greater confidence, and a desire to get back on the water.

What people say about the Cap'n
"Took my two grandsons out crappie fishing... He was very patient with them and great about answering all their questions. Caught enough crappie to have a nice fish fry."
This was such a fun trip! Clayton put us right on the fish. He would tell us when a fish was looking at our bait don't move our minnow and how to slowly pull up on the line and if it was heavy reel it in! He is the best! I highly recommend booking a trip with Clayton Primrose. Follow his instructions and you will bring home a mess of fish! And maybe some petrified wood! Making memories!
"Clayton showed us how the sonar worked and what to look for to find fish. Caught a good number of fish both days even though we were fishing right after a cold front. Recommend him for fishing Lake Sam Rayburn."
Our time spent on the water with Clayton Primrose is always a blast! Excellent instruction and attention to each drop of the minnow. He puts you on the fish! Can't wait to go again! Thank you for all of the knowledge and wonderful memories made Clayton.
