Before you travel to Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a fly fishing adventure, we think it would be a good idea for you to spend a little time on this section of our website. The information we are providing is totally unbiased. We do not own or receive compensation in any form from any fly shop, motel, resort, recreational facility, campground or other entity in or near the Smokies. The only thing we ask is that you consider viewing our instructional DVD on fly-fishing, especially the Smokies program, and consider using our “Perfect Flies” where ever you fish. Irrespective of what you choose to do, we just hope that your trip to these ancient Southern Appalachian mountains is a very enjoyable one for you, your friends and family. We want to help you in any way we can, so feel free to contact us any time. We will do our best to help you with your trip.
