Guided Float Fishing Trips – Tennessee

Explore East Tennessee's most scenic rivers with a rod in hand!

Join us for an unforgettable guided float trip on the trout-rich Watauga or South Holston Rivers. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to fly fishing, our float trips offer the perfect way to cover more water, access hard-to-reach spots, and target wild and stocked trout in some of the region’s most productive fisheries.

Our experienced, licensed guides provide personalized instruction and local expertise to give you the best chance at success while keeping the day fun, safe, and memorable.
