East Tennessee is blessed with some of the best trophy trout waters in the country.
The South Holston River, Fort Patrick Henry and Watauga River are tailraces and are home to 7,000-11,000 trout per mile as well as some of the largest trout in the country. These pristine rivers are teaming with many different species of aquatic insects that hatch throughout the year, making them a year-round fishery. You can expect to catch some of the prettiest brown and rainbow trout found anywhere. There are also hundreds of smaller mountain streams that hold trout within an easy drive from EFO. Many of these streams hold our southern gem, the Appalachian strain brook trout. They have an aggressive appetite, especially for dry flies, with an other-worldly paint scheme.

If the trip is cancelled up to 14 days prior to the first trip date, the trip will be cancelled and will relieve you of any obligation to pay the remaining trip balance. If the trip is cancelled by the angler(s) within 14 days of the trip, the remaining balance becomes due. It is not our intention to take payment for guided trips that are not taken.
