Go Beyond the Ordinary Fly Fishing Trip
Looking for something beyond a traditional guided trip? Our Specialty Fly Fishing Trips take you beyond the ordinary and into some of the most unique fishing experiences in the Smoky Mountains. Cross Fontana Lake to legendary Hazel Creek, hike into remote mountain streams for native Brook Trout, chase big predatory trout after dark on our Twilight Drifters, or experience one of our seasonal fly fishing adventures.
These trips are designed for anglers looking to experience a different side of Smoky Mountain fly fishing—from remote wilderness streams to after-dark trophy trout fishing.
Choose your adventure below and discover a side of the Smokies most visitors never experience.
Hazel Creek Fly Fishing Day Trip
Some trout streams are places you fish. Hazel Creek is a place you experience.
Hidden along the remote North Shore of Fontana Lake, Hazel Creek is one of the most legendary wild trout streams in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Your adventure begins with a boat ride across Fontana Lake before spending the day exploring miles of remote water for wild Rainbow, Brown and Brook Trout.
This is a true backcountry fly fishing adventure designed for intermediate and experienced anglers looking to get away from the crowds and experience one of the most storied trout streams in the Smokies.

Backcountry Brook Trout
Go beyond the easy-access streams of the Smokies in search of one of the Southern Appalachians’ most special native fish. Our Backcountry Brook Trout trips take experienced anglers into remote, high-elevation mountain streams where wild Southern Appalachian Brook Trout still thrive.
These trips require hiking, stealth and accurate presentations in small mountain water, but the reward is an incredible day exploring some of the most beautiful and secluded trout streams in the Smokies. We carefully rotate the waters we fish to protect these special places and keep our favorite Brook Trout streams exactly where they belong—a secret.

Twilight Drifters
When the sun goes down, a completely different side of trout fishing comes alive. Our Twilight Drifters Float Trip takes you onto the water during the evening and after dark, when big Brown and Rainbow Trout leave their daytime lies and begin hunting.
Cast streamers along the banks as daylight fades, then experience the excitement of mousing after dark for predatory trout. Explosive surface strikes, moonlit water and the possibility of connecting with a trophy fish make Twilight Drifters one of the most unique fishing adventures we offer.
Available with fly fishing or light tackle, this trip is designed for anglers looking for something completely different from an ordinary day on the river.
Hazel Creek Fly Fishing Camping Trip
Take the Hazel Creek experience even farther with a multi-day fly fishing adventure into one of the most remote areas of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our Hazel Creek Camping Trips begin with a boat ride across Fontana Lake before heading deep into the backcountry for several days of fishing, camping and exploring this legendary Smoky Mountain watershed.
Spend your days fishing miles of remote mountain water for wild Rainbow, Brown and Brook Trout, then settle into camp surrounded by the quiet of the Smokies. With no roads leading into Hazel Creek, this is a chance to leave the crowds behind and experience one of the most historic and secluded trout fishing destinations in the Southern Appalachians.

Summer Smallmouth Float Trip
Trade the mountain trout streams for big water and hard-fighting Smallmouth Bass. During the summer months, we float the Tuckasegee and Little Tennessee Rivers, casting streamers, poppers and other patterns to aggressive Smallmouth that are known for explosive strikes and powerful fights.
These full-day float trips are a great way to spend a summer day on the water while experiencing some of Western North Carolina’s most beautiful river scenery. Fish with a fly rod or light spin tackle—either way, Smallmouth Bass provide some of the most exciting fishing of the summer.
