Let us show you these scenic waters we choose to call home. East Tennessee provides some of the most diverse trout fishing in the United States. Trout thrive in mountain streams, large rivers, and even lakes in the Smoky Mountain region. Our specialty is catching trout on fly and we welcome anglers of all skill levels. We can tailor a day of fly fishing for you.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the largest tracts of wild country in the eastern United States. Over 700 miles of cold, clean trout streams drain the Smokies' green slopes. Rainbow trout are common throughout the park and brown trout are present in many watersheds. Native brook trout, holdovers from the ice age, still swim in the highest elevation streams. These are wild trout streams and the fish are decorated with brilliant colors.

Larger trout and big rivers are only a short distance from our base in Townsend, Tennessee. The Holston, Clinch, and Tuckaseegee Rivers as well as Calderwood Lake provide superb habitat and grow good numbers of larger trout. We fish these rivers and lakes from our Hyde drift boat which puts anglers over bigger fish while providing a stable platform for up to two casters.

Fly fishing is more than our chosen profession, it's our passion. Ian & Charity Rutter are authorities on fly fishing and have produced numerous articles and books. Ian wrote Great Smoky Mountains Angler's Companion and Tennessee Trout Waters: A Blue Ribbon Guide, the most comprehensive fly fishing guides to the Smokies and Tennessee. Their latest book is Rise Rings & Rhododendron: Fly Fishing the Streams & Tailwaters of Southern Appalachia. Ian & Charity have also helped to produce a set of videos, Fly Fishing Eastern Freestone Streams. In addition to guiding in the Smokies, Ian & Charity host fly fishing trips to destinations including Montana and Belize.
