The rivers here in East Tennessee are among the top fly fishing destinations and are fertile all year round with some excellent trophy trout, so there will be a lot to catch. Our fishing guide will trailer up and drive you to the river. Have fun casting angles in the river as we navigate.
Our boats provide stable footing and lean bars that keep you steady while aiming for trout. TN Tailwaters offers fun guided fly fishing with a personal touch. Our staff knows the mountain, valley, rocks, bends, and every secret fishing hole on the rivers. We understand the river space like the back of our hand.

If you cannot keep the scheduled date, please let us know as soon as possible to reschedule your trip and open that spot for someone else. Last-minute cancellations may incur a fee.
Fly fishing is all seasons in all weather; we fish rain or shine, and some of our best fishing days come with cloudy weather.
