Full Day Float Fishing Trip

Starting at $550.00

Float two of the best rivers on the East Coast! We use McKenzie style drift boats to float down both the Watauga and South Holston rivers in Eastern Tennessee. These boats are arranged with a roe seat in the middle for the guide and comfortable fishing seats in the front and back for one or two anglers. Floating these rivers is a highly effective tactic because you can cover much more water than if you were wading. It is also more convenient during high water conditions. Halfway through the trip your guide will pull the boat up on shore and will set up a nice lunch with comfortable seating for you. All equipment is provided and your TN license can be picked up on the drive to the river (not included in trip cost).

**We require a 50% deposit to reserve your trip which will be due when completing your booking.**

Please Note: Booking a trip requires a NON-REFUNDABLE 50% deposit. The full value is non-refundable within 7 days of the scheduled trip date, however, we will honor your deposit and reschedule for a future date if we are completely booked on your preferred date or other conflicts arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to supply my own fishing gear?

Nope! Our full-service guiding program allows for your guide to come prepared with all gear necessary, including your Waders and Boots, Rods, Reels, Lines, Leaders, Tippets, and terminal tackle, along with any type of flies or tackle necessary for the day, and a net for releasing and capturing that perfect photo!

You are more than welcome to bring your own rod, reel, leader, or tippet. Whether it is your favorite or you would like us to set it up, bring it on!

Do I have to sign a waiver before my fishing trip?

Yes, every member of your fly fishing trip party needs to sign a release form. You will sign the waiver prior to your trip.
