THE BEAUTIFUL STREAMS AND RIVERS OF EAST TENNESSEE AND WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
|
Unicoi County, TN and Western NC are blessed with not only these hidden headwater streams but offer literally miles of more accessible streams for all types of fly and spin fishing for rainbow, brook and brown trout.
The Nolichucky River is home to a large population of smallmouth bass. The river also contains population of musky and trout. These fish can be taken on the fly or light tackle. The Nolichucky is known for its combination of whitewater and great smallmouth fishing. Simply said, the smallmouth is one of the greatest fresh water fish you will ever pursue.

The Appalachian Angler Fly Shop and Guide Service. Nolichucky Day Float
Our day float of about ten miles on the Nolichucky for Smallmouth Bass takes place above or below the gorge, depending on water levels and clarity. Fly and light-tackle fishing down this remote, majestic stretch of the Nolichucky is a favorite among our guides. This trip is recommended for spin fisherman, smallmouth fly anglers, and trout bums wanting to feel the pull of a smallmouth bass on the long rod.
Nolichucky Overnight Trips
The Nolichucky Overnight is a two day one night, or three day two night smallmouth trip written up as one of the twenty-five best adventures in the southeast. Featured in Gray's Sporting Journal, Sports Afield, and Fly Rod and Reel Magazine, it is a true Appalachian Angler experience, perfecting 15 years of professional outfitting and guiding.

Our Hunting Opportunities
|
Probably the most popular hunting activity in our mountains is for whitetail deer. Liberal limits and a long season in the fall allow archer, muzzleloader and firearm enthusiasts to try their luck in the thousands of acres of Eastern Hardwood provided by the Cherokee National Forest. We are also blessed with a stable and sustainable population of grey squirrel, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, some waterfowl, and even the elusive black bear. While other areas of our country are increasingly posted or leased by clubs; Unicoi County’s largest landowner is the U.S. Forest Service and they provide many hours of enjoyment and sport for hunters.
