About
Half Days and Full Days
4hr Option:
Join us for a 4hr trip down one of the local tailwater rivers. Targeting wild trout with a variety of techniques to help you become a better angler and put you on fish. Great for beginners and experienced anglers, a half day is perfect for keeping your schedule flexible! This helps accommodate you, whether you just want to get out for a little bit of fishing, a quick intro, or if you don't want to be in the elements all day! We want to fit your schedule while getting in on the best times to fish.
8hr Option:
Full days run around 8 hrs. Your guide will lead you down miles of quality water by Drift boat, targeting Trout and/or Bass. The Fish and Game survey of the South Holston and Watauga rivers boast at least 4,000 fish per mile, and in some stretches its 3x that estimate! Tailwaters are fishable year round and offer endless methods to target these fish. So regardless if you're a beginner wanting to learn as much as you can or an experienced angler looking for that trophy we are here to help! These are memories that can last a lifetime, and we love to share our passion and have fun while doing it!
