Jacob and Chad were excellent and attentive guides for our fishing trip. We had a blast and would love to go back and do it again.

Awesome trip. I normally wouldn't consider a guided trip like this but I really want to get into fly fishing and need to learn the ropes. Chad helped me get a good understanding of the basics and i caught 8 fish total and that's not including the big one that got away from me. I highly recommend letting these guys take you fishing.

It was a very lovely experience to fish in the creek and beautiful mountain and trees. I will definitely do it again.

Our guide was fantastic and did really well with my 11-year-old son keeping him engaged, teaching him about fly fishing. We caught some beautiful native rainbows in the process.

Three years running, and it only gets better. This time, deeper into the Park—off the beaten path, where wild trout live by instinct, not stocking trucks. These aren’t easy fish; they’re earned. The guides at Smoky Mountain Angler know exactly where to go, how to approach, and when to strike. Kind, sharp, and dialed in—they don’t just guide, they teach. Already looking forward to the next time on the water with them.
