Guided Wade Trips

Public Wade Trip

The mountain streams of Western North Carolina offer some of the finest trout habitat in the nation. Experience the crystal clear waters fed by rainfall on North America's oldest range, The Appalachian Mountains. The folded and faulted undulations of these breathtaking hills create thousands of miles of streams easily accessed by foot. Our guided fly fishing wade trips are the best way to experience the true immersive fly fishing adventure. Our fly fishing guides have spent years learning and reading these local waters, and they're excited to share their wisdom while introducing anglers to these exquisite fisheries.

Beginning anglers will enjoy the easier fly casting requirements of stream fly fishing while adventuring into a more remote back country setting. More advanced anglers will appreciate the solitude and the challenge of approaching fish in tighter quarters requiring both stealthy and accurate casting.
