Guided Nantahala River Fishing Float and Wade Trips in the Smokies

Float and Wade Fly Fishing trips are two great options to experience the incredible trout-filled rivers and creeks in the NC Smokies near Bryson City. A favorite of anglers is the cold, clear, trout-filled waters of the Nantahala River. Home to record trout and a top fishing river in the state of North Carolina – we have the guides to get you to the best fishing holes!

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.
