The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home to some of the best trout fishing in the Southeast. Whether you are a first-timer or a lifelong fly fisher, let Smoky Mountain Guides take you to the best fishing spots in the park. Once booked, our guide will contact you to arrange the details of your trip. We’ll work with you to plan a four-hour fishing trip based on your fish preference (rainbow, brown, or brook trout) and your hiking preference. SMG provides all the gear needed for fishing, including rods, flies, line, waders, and boots. Participants should bring a valid fishing license issued by either Tennessee or North Carolina and a Great Smoky Mountains parking pass.

What To Expect

Participants will get hands on guidance from an experienced fly fishing guide. We provide waders, boots, rods, reels, and flies. The guide will assist with all aspects of the trip including fishing site selection, casting basics, and landing and releasing the fish.

Participants will follow the guide from Gatlinburg into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While many trips will head for the clear waters of the Little River in Elkmont, the actual destination will depend on the participants' fishing goals (type of trout, desire for more or less hiking to the fishing location) and current water conditions.
