Guided Wade Trips
Try our trout fly fishing trips in North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. We have wade trips in state parks, as well as tailing the race waters of the Watauga River. Most of our guided wade trips are on public waters and streams. Our guides show you where the fish are and how to catch them.  You'll also learn water reading and screening for trout foods. This way, you're able to return on your own at any time! Enjoy all the fishing the High Country has to offer on your next vacation!
