We are very fortunate to be strategically located in the heart of some of the best trout fishing and smallmouth bass fishing in the country. Asheville, North Carolina is our hub, providing us year 'round, world-class sportfishing opportunities in every direction.
Whether you are interested in a float fishing trip for big trout in our tailwaters, a wade fishing trip for wild and native trout, or float one of our freestone rivers in search of smallmouth bass and muskie, we can make it happen. We also offer winter trout fishing trips.
Aside from our knowledge of where the big fish live, our other specialty is the ability to teach others the skill and art of flyfishing. Our fly fishing schools are offered in an environment that you will truly love... guaranteed!

Winter Fishing Trips
In spite of sporadic winter storms in western North Carolina, the trout fishing remains quite good. We have been concentrating out efforts on the trout of our tailrace fisheries.
The tailwaters (Watauga, South Holston, and Tuckaseegee) provide us with consistant water temperatures and flow levels which are essential for catching trout during the winter months. We are seing quite a bit of insect activity on a daily basis. Blue winged olives, midges, and black flies are all present right now and will make trout of all sizes come up to the surface for an easy meal. This is good for anglers looking to do some dry fly fishing. If the trout are not taking the adults off the surface, a small nymph dropped of the back of a visible dry fly will definitely do the trick.
