Guided Fly Fishing Trips

Guided Fly Fishing Wade Trips

We are blessed with some of the finest wade fishing opportunities east of the Mississippi. Whether it's crawling from pool to pool casting dries to weary brook trout on the headwater streams or stalking super selective brown and rainbow trout on the tailwaters of the Watauga and South Holston, we have it all. Wade fishing is a great way to experience the outdoors without being confined to a boat. If you are new to this sport, we can tailor a day of wade fishing to get you started. We typically meet at the shop at 8:00 a.m. and take care of any last minute items, then proceed to the stream of choice and fish until you have had enough!

Due to the size and of the Appalachian Mountains, the width of our water is measured in feet not yards. We have creeks that you can jump across and streams that rarely see anglers on the far banks. With this in mind, many anglers find that our smaller streams and rivers allow for more solitude and relaxation. Take a look at the locations where we guide and decide what river is right for you. If you're new to the area, let your guide choose your river - he'll likely choose the one that's fishing best.

We welcome anglers of all experience levels. As experienced and professional fly fishing guides, we enjoy the opportunity to help beginners as well as novices develop their fly fishing skills. For those more accomplished anglers, we are able to provide you with some of the most challenging and technically-difficult fly fishing you will experience anywhere. The waters we fish are the finest the area has to offer, not to mention some of the finest in the world. Our guides work hard to put you on fish and we guarantee they will provide you with a memorable experience.

Guided Fly Fishing Float Trips

The tailwaters of North Carolina and Tennessee are some of the best in the Southeast. Many of our clients fish Western tailwaters in the summer months and use our local tailwaters to get an early start on their season and tune up their techniques after the winter. Depending on your desire to catch wild fish or stocked fish, we have a tailwater to suit you.

Tailwater fishing can be especially difficult. The abundance of insects in these man-made streams allows for the fish to very selectively. The only way to have a chance for success is to have someone fish these waters extensively for several years, learning the insect population, and the typical holding locations for the fish.

Our float trips are done in either a driftboat or a raft with a maximum of two anglers and their guide. As fishing from a boat is a bit more difficult than wade fishing, our guides are more than willing to give you a casting demonstration before putting in. Those that are unable to wade safely may find a float trip as a way to still be on the water.
