We provide fly fishing on the South Holston River and the Watauga River in TN, the Holston River in TN, the Tuckasegee River in NC and the Davidson River in Western North Carolina plus many more which fish great year round. Our fly fishing float trips for trout and smallmouth bass are all taken in the comfort of a Hyde Drift Boat . The float trips for trout fishing are done on the tailwaters of the Watauga River and the South Holston River in East Tennessee, and the Tuckasegee in North Carolina. The smallmouth fishing is done on the Holston River outside of Kingsport, TN. Our wade fly fishing days can be done in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina or Tennessee. You can pick between fly fishing easy access trout streams or native wild trout streams. The secluded backwoods trip does require a hike to the native wild trout streams.
So whether you would like to go on a fly fishing guide trip to big tailwaters with lunker brown and rainbow trout or the secluded backwoods of the Blue Ridge Mountains for some wild native trout, we can make your day one to remember. It doesn't matter where you are in the spectrum of fishing skills. Our fly fishing guides tailor to the beginner or advanced fisherman.

The Spring fishing in East Tennessee has been great and will continue throughout the summer. Some folks have the misconception that summertime is not a good time to go trout fishing. That is far from the truth, especially on these waters that are tailwaters(rivers below mountain

Well the trout fishing and smallmouth bass fishing has just been great. We have been nymph and dry fly fishing for the trout on the Watauga River. Blue winged olives have been the choice and the trout eat them without question when a hatch is coming off. Nymphs have

Hello from High Country Angler. The summer fishing has been nothing short of fantastic. Every trip has been great with high productivity. The Watauga River is definitely the best river for trout fishing in the East and could compete with the western rivers.

Hello Everyone. Sorry for the late update. My computer got viruses and I had to completely wipe out the hard drive. That included my programs for updating the site. I did get that resolved and had a few days to upload the pics and give a fishing report. The fishing has been really good.

Hey Everyone. The spring season has started off great. The trout are really eating well both on the Watauga River and South Holston River. We are using tandem pheasant tails and slaying them. We have also hooked up with several 20 inchers but haven't landed one.

Winter trout fishing on the South Holston River has been action packed. Tailwaters are really great fisheries in the winter due to their constant temperatures even when it is cold outside. We have been catching most of our trout on nymph rigs with some dry fly action. The rivers

Hello Everyone. Boy we have been busy with trips and tying a bunch of flies so haven't had much time to update the site. The fishing has just been great on every trip. The drought conditions that we are facing does not effect the tailwaters that we fish due to the flow of the water being controlled by a dam.
