Our entire guide line up spent the weekend on Hazel Creek with a group of anglers from Ohio. The weather was absolutely perfect on Thursday and Friday. Things got pretty wet on Saturday, but the good fishing continued. Overall, most of the fish our group caught was on nymphs, but my anglers had a good […]
A Busy Week Guiding on the Rivers and Streams
Fly fishing in the Smoky Mountains and East Tennessee has reached it’s spring peak and our guide service has been absolutely slammed. We’ve had two or more guides on the water all week and covered all kinds of water. The Smokies are still fishing great. However, don’t get your heart set on dry fly fishing […]
Smokies Fishing Great, Tailwaters Getting Better Everyday
I’ve been in the drift boat for the past several days. We’re not seeing much in the way of hatches beyond sporadic midges at this point, but we’re expecting caddis to start hatching on the Holston River soon. Dry fly fishing is excellent in the Smokies and there’s not much sign of that letting up […]
Good Fishing, Few Bugs, & Some Bird Watching
We’ve spent a lot of time out on the water over the past few days. It’s that time of year and we have a full week of bookings next week. Yesterday Charity and I were both on Little River. There weren’t many bugs hatching, but the fish would certainly rise to a good drift. There […]
Fly Fishing is Excellent Everywhere Across East Tennessee
We can sum up the fishing pretty quickly – It’s excellent where ever you go right now. We’re glad to report that because our guide season really cranked up. We’ll have multiple guides on the water several days this week. Our wading boots and drift boat oars will both get a work out. The recent […]

Video Fishing Report – Back to the Tailwaters
The weather and fly fishing have been nothing short of superb this week in East Tennessee. The bugs have really been hatching on the mountain streams and things are just starting to get cranked up on our local tailwaters. I spent the day doing a guided float on the Holston River yesterday and most of […]
Dry Fly Fishing in the Smokies Only Gets Better
We’re about to start a bit more fishing and floating on the Holston and Clinch Rivers, but right now we’re still enjoying all the great dry fly fishing in the Smokies. Today Charity reported that the fish started to rise by 10 AM and was best when the sun was out. The weather forecast for […]
Video Fishing Report – Quill Gordon Hatch in the Smoky Mountains
It’s been another week of good mayfly hatches in the Smoky Mountains and midge fishing on the tailwaters. Fishing continues to be spotty on the Clinch River with slow periods broken up by several minutes of really good activity. It doesn’t seem like there has been very much insect activity on the Clinch so that […]
