In the heart of the Great Smokey Mountains, swift-running clear and cold streams drop down from the high ridges and create one of the best fisheries in the country. With four riverside properties along the Little Tennessee River, allow us to put together trips of any length. We can customize any trip to accommodate your needs, even serve you a complete gourmet riverside lunch. Our enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful guiding specialists conduct unparallel fishing trips for anyone from the avid fly-fishing angler to the ultra-light tackle enthusiast.

This biologically diverse fishery in the earths oldest of mountains offers chances at Small Mouth Bass, Large Mouth Bass, Walleye and perhaps the hefty Muskie strikes and also Rainbow, Brown and Brooke trout. Our camp on the Little Tennessee River has bait and tackle, canoe, kayak, mountain bike and tube rentals. Go alone or take a guide for just a scenic float or a wonderful day of fishing. Hiking and rock climbing are all around us. Our RV park campgrounds and lodge rooms right on the river with outstanding scenery!
