　　Float Trips for Trout

　　Fly fishing float trips for rainbow and brown trout are on the tail waters of the Watauga and South Holston. Both rivers are dam controlled by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and bottom fed off of two local lakes. These tail waters offer prolific, year-round hatches and blue ribbon trout fishing. The best year round trout fishing in the southeast! Floating these rivers is best fished out of a Hyde drift boat, which is a highly effective tactic to cover more water than if you were wade fishing. However we will be stopping the boat to wade in some of the best spots. Floating is very convenient in high water conditions as well and an excellent trip for targeting trophy size trout or have very high fish counts. Trout trips are available year round, despite the colder weather, winter is also an outstanding time to fish for trophy trout.
