Hunter Banks Guided Fly Fishing Float Trips The tailwaters of North Carolina and Tennessee are some of the best in the Southeast. Many of our clients fish Western tailwaters in the summer months and use our local tailwaters to get an early start on their season and tune up their techniques after the winter. Depending on your desire to catch wild fish or stocked fish, we have a tailwater to suit you.

Tailwater fishing can be especially difficult. The abundance of insects in these man-made streams allows for the fish to very selectively. The only way to have a chance for success is to have someone fish these waters extensively for several years, learning the insect population, and the typical holding locations for the fish.

Our float trips are done in either a driftboat or a raft with a maximum of two anglers and their guide. As fishing from a boat is a bit more difficult than wade fishing, our guides are more than willing to give you a casting demonstration before putting in. Those that are unable to wade safely may find a float trip as a way to still be on the water.
