Trout float TRIPS
A float trip is hands down the best way to experience the river and is our most popular guided trip. Navigate the river from a drift boat to cover the most miles and fish to the most fish, all under the guidance of a skilled, knowledgable and patient oarsman. Our trout floats take place on the Watauga and South Holston rivers in Tennessee and the Tuckaseegee river in North Carolina. Most trout float trips take place 60 minutes or less from downtown Asheville, NC. Float trips are seasonally tailored for the most productive fishing conditions.
