East Tennessee and western North Carolina with the all TVA lakes and thousands of miles
of shoreline, the mountain lakes, the rivers and streams make this area a fisherman's paradise.
For those interested
in our guided fishing trips we will hook you up with some of the best
guides in the area for bass or trout fishing. Rather just kick back on a river or lake bank
and wet a hook, or rent a bass boat or pontoon
boat and strike out on your own we can assist
in that too. Regardless of what type of fishing you want to do we will work with you to make
it happen. Check with us for rates on different types of fishing packages. Also check our
Special Events Calendar for information on fishing tournaments.
