Neither my wife and I knew anything about fishing! We have been coming to the Smokies for years, and had always seen the guys in the streams throughout the park and thought it was intriguing. This year we decided to give it a shot, and based on the reviews we saw here, we booked a 1/2 day trip. We had... More

These folks are just the best! They have been most helpful in getting my husband and I stared in one of new hobbies....fly fishing. Our guide was EXCELLENT, we learned tons of things from him as well as the folks in the store. We have shopped there several times and have always had a great experience. They were very imformative... More

Went there to get a fishing permit for my daughter. Shop was outfitted nicely, but what was really impressive was the older gentleman that worked there. He was a really nice guy with a lot of knowledge of the area, and the type you want to buy from again. I will definitely go back.

We purchased 2 rod and reels and some other items and with the help of the staff they pointed us in the right direction.... More

Bought my 1st REAL fly rod & real outfit there (4 wt. 7 1/2ft.). Since then, I have HAD to go fly fishing on the Hiwasse River & other East Tennessee streams, as well. Jeff... More

We used the Smoky Mountain Angler for our guided fly fishing trip. They provided all of the equipment (rods, reels, flies, waders , boots), and you could get your fishing liscense from them. There were only 2 in our party, and so we rode from the shop to the river with the guide (about 20 minutes). We went up into... More
