Right now I am only guiding on the weekends, because I work full time as a machine operator and I am doing 1/2 day floats on the Clinch River, you’ll need to decide on the upper end (Miller’s Island to Peach Orchard, about 3 miles) or the lower end (Peach Orchard to 61 Bridge, about 7 miles).
All gear (rods, reels, waders, flies) provided for all trips. Lunch is provided on full day trips.

They are the Cadillacs of the river, and the best way to fly fish in first class comfort. We also offer wade fishing trips for those that prefer getting in the water. All guided trips feature experienced, professional fly-fishing guides, top of the line boats and equipment that are well maintained and drinks and snacks. Our full trips also include lunch.

We want to make sure you have the best experience possible. Our guides are well versed in fishing the Tellico River under a variety of conditions and with a variety of tactics and techniques. Want to learn something specific on your trip such as small stream tactics, tenkara or euro-nymphing? Let us know and we’ll customize your trip just for you. The mountains of East Tennessee provide a multitude of small stream opportunities for wild trout and native brook trout. These streams are often remote, largely untouched and require a special set of tactics to approach successfully. Our small stream clinic is designed to provide you with the necessary skill set to enjoy these backcountry beauties on your own.
