Over 2 decades of chasing trout and trying to crack the code. I absolutely love teaching people about fly fishing and the beautiful rivers.
The Watauga River is another top notch tailwater in east Tennessee. The cold, oxygenated water released from Wilbur Dam, plus great bug life make up the perfect habit for rainbow and brown trout. In addition to the states regular stockings, the river system is very healthy and supports some rather large hold-over trout plus stunning stream born trout.

The South Holston River is quite possibly the best tailwater in the southeast. It's a beautiful river flowing from Bristol to Bluff City Tennessee. The cold water released out of South Holston Lake provides a great habit for brown and rainbow trout to thrive year round. This gem boast roughly 8,500 fish per mile, but the clear waters and heavy pressure keeps things challenging. The scenic setting makes for the perfect place to spend your day trying to catch a few.
