Overview

Fly fishing in East Tennessee is a captivating experience that combines the serene beauty of the region with the thrill of angling. Nestled amidst the majestic Smoky Mountains, East Tennessee boasts a bounty of pristine rivers, streams, and lakes, making it a paradise for fly fishing enthusiasts. The crystal-clear waters teem with a variety of trout species, including rainbow, brown, and brook, providing ample opportunities for anglers to test their skills. Whether casting on a float trip on the Watauga or wading in the rushing waters of the Clinch River, fly fishing in East Tennessee offers a unique escape and a chance to connect with nature and other men in a way that is truly unmatched. This trip runs from Aug. 11 (Friday Afternoon) - Aug. 13 (Sunday Mid-Day). We will be staying in a lodge on the banks of the river. Arriving Friday evening together, with guided fishing all day Saturday, and heading home Sunday morning after a hardy breakfast. Looking forward to this amazing time both on and off the water!
