1 Day Local Wade Fly Fishing Trip

The Tailwaters of East Tennessee
Tailwater Trips 2018 Rates:
Two Person Full Day Float $450
One Person Full Day Float $350

The South Holston and Watauga tailwaters outside of Elizabethton and Johnson City Tennessee offer anglers some of the best fishing the Southeast has to offer. With a long season of dynamic bug life and resident trout these streams can be terrific fishing almost year round! HCGS has guided these well known waters since 2005 and strives to offer that intimate and elusive knowledge to all skill sets. With increasing pressure and privatization it truly takes some dedicated know-how and on the stream solutions that our guides practice day in and day out. If you've fished the streams before and always wanted to see the guides' perspective or just want to try out a full day float - these streams are the best we have!

With an increase in demand for the Alaska expeditions my schedule in the Southeast revolves on Spring and Fall. Spring fishing truly heats up as March approaches with lots of blue wing activity and spawning rainbows, then caddis and sulfur hatches in April/May with beetles popping their heads out of the sycamores into June. June, July, August, and September HCGS is operating in Alaska. In the Fall upon the return - there are still sulfurs dying down with blue wings picking up steam, excellent streamer fishing through Thanksgiving, and the brown trout spawn lasting through February!

A typical Full Day Float Trip starts at 6:30 AM at our Fly Shop in downtown Boone: 444 W King St Boone, NC 28607.
We will load up from there and travel over to our fishing grounds in East Tennessee, usually putting in on the South Holston or Watauga tailwaters. We will disembark floating from a public put in, float a few miles and have a stream side lunch. After lunch we will float a few more miles to a designated public take out where the truck will be waiting after being shuttled. We will then load up from there and return to Boone, back to the shop at 444 W King St Boone, NC 28607.
