Fly Fishing Guide Service

Current Trips Offered

Below are the current fly fishing trips offered. Each trip includes one-on-one private instruction and everything needed for a good day on the water, except your fishing license. On our trips, we will provide fly rods, reels, lines, flies, cold waters, Gatorades, and snacks. Full day trips also include a riverside lunch.

All trips are on dam-controlled rivers. The flows are constantly changing and will determine the available safe floatable options.

South Holston River - Bristol, TN

The South Holston River is quite possibly the best tailwater in the southeast. It's a beautiful river flowing from Bristol to Bluff City, Tennessee. The cold water released out of South Holston Lake provides a great environment for brown and rainbow trout to thrive year-round. This gem boasts roughly 8,500 fish per mile, but the clear waters and heavy pressure keep things challenging. The scenic setting makes for the perfect place to spend your day trying to catch a few.

$500 - Full Day Float for 1 or 2 Anglers (8 +/- hrs on the water)

$400 - Half-Day Float for 1 or 2 Anglers (4 +/- hrs on the water)

Watauga River - Elizabethton, TN

The Watauga River is another top-notch tailwater in east Tennessee. The cold, oxygenated water released from Wilbur Dam, plus great bug life, make up the perfect habit for rainbow and brown trout. In addition to the state's regular stockings, the river system is very healthy and supports some rather large hold-over trout plus stunning stream-born trout.

$500 - Full Day Float for 1 or 2 Anglers (8 +/- hrs on the water)

$400 - Half-Day Float for 1 or 2 Anglers (4 +/- hrs on the water)
