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.

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. Meeting and fishing locations are customized based on your lodging location and current weather conditions. Your guide will call you before the trip to discuss gear sizing and a meeting location. You must provide a phone number when you register.

Wes was a fantastic guide on our trout fishing trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He made sure we were safe and set us up for success. We caught fish and had a wonderful time! It was such a beautiful day in an incredible setting, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

The Best Days- It just doesn’t get any better than a gorgeous day in the park fishing. It’s the days dreams are made of sunshine, beautiful scenery, & the world’s best fishing guide! When you want to visit the Smokies and kick the vacay up a notch, call Wes. You’ll never see fly fishing the same way again, I mean it’s a 10 star outing!

My teenage sons and I had an excellent fly fishing excursion with our guide Wes. He showed them how to fly fish and was an excellent tutor. He was also just a wonderful guy to hang out with for 4 hours! They both caught rainbow trout. A real highlight of this trip. 100% recommend Wes and this excursion.

I had a 6 hour fly fishing trip scheduled with Wes. It was a beautiful morning and we got on the water about 8 am. Now, I have never been a proficient fly fisherman and I hadn't been fishing for more than 5 years due to some health concerns, so Wes had his work cut out for him. lol The stream was filled with large rocks and I was having some trouble navigating them, but he never hesitated to offer a steading hand to me. His knowledge of the area history and the fishing were nothing short of incredible. (everything from what species could be found at what altitude and where to find fish simply due to a few degrees difference in water temperature) All of the information that he imparted was done as pleasant conversation and not as a student/teacher lecture. I have to commend him on his patience also. Considering the numerous strikes that I missed due to my slow responses and the half dozen or so overhead trees that I was particularly good at catching, he never lost his cool or commented on it. Overall, I am thrilled with the experience and would recommend it to anyone considering a tour of any kind in the area. The beauty of the area and the chance to be outdoors in this situation were amazing, and I did manage to catch a coupe of beautiful trout (4 Rainbow and 1 Brook). Not bad, considering my old age and inexperience. lol. All made possible by Wes's guidance. Great experience, great service, highly knowledgeable guide, highly recommend.

I had never fly-fished before, and I was travelling alone, so I was a little weary about booking this experience... little did I know it'd be one of my favourite parts of my entire USA trip (I still think about it today). Wes was an outstanding guide. He taught me all of the basics, chatted with me casually, and gave me some insider tips as we wadered up stream. He helped me catch my first fish! A beautiful rainbow trout. If you're travelling solo and find yourself in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, this is a must. BOOK IT! Thank you Wes. All the best!
