Brad Johnson, Licensed Guide



For years I've taken friends and family "up the river" for memorable outings, but oftentimes with inadequate or outdated gear. Although I'm now boating in state-of-the-art equipment designed specifically for the unique character of the Dix, doing so was a significant undertaking given our budget. My thinking is that--given the opportunity to boat and fish safely, comfortably, and occasionally--folks will pay a relatively modest fee for the experience. I regret having to charge anything at all, but as the adage goes, "you get what you pay for." And with me, you'll really like what you get!


"In the Beginning..."

Our family moved to Wilmore, KY, in the summer of 2004. Our plan was for me to finish my two Master's programs at Asbury Theological Seminary, then return to Indiana the following winter. That was seven years ago.


Now I serve as a full-time Instructor of Biblical Languages at Asbury Theological Seminar (Wilmore, KY). I'm currently finishing a PhD in Biblical Studies, and have a background in Youth and Family Ministry.


Dix River Adventures is my way of capturing some summer down-time for recreation and supplemental income.


Although my primary vocational calling is to a ministry of teaching, I love to fish and boat. If you've not had the chance to experience the majestic scenery and amazing variety of wildlife along the Kentucky and Dix River basins, you really need to. It's something no person living in Central Kentucky should miss.
