What is a Fly Fishing Float Trip?
Comfortably seated in an oar rigged boat with a guide, a float trip is by far the most popular option for fly fishing the Nantahala or Tuckasegee Rivers. The boats are set up for 1-2 anglers and the guide. You have a 360-degree casting area around the boat, giving you a much larger fishing area.
What is a Fly Fishing Wade (Wet Wade) Trip?
For small streams where floating is not an option, a wade trip is the best way to fish. Your guide will select the best places to fish as you explore the river geared up in waders and boots.
