Hiwassee River (Reliance, Tn.)
The Hiwassee River in East Tennessee’s southern most corner, is our home water and we look forward to sharing the experience with all of our clients. The Hiwassee River is an excellent tail water fishery. With trout fishing being the main focus of most anglers. In the spring and summer months the dry fly fishing can rival the best in the country. Trips are scheduled on a basis of water flow for the river. For our float trips we will be using drift boats or catarafts. Theses types of boats are the safest way to travel and fish on the river. We also have plenty of opprotunity for wade fishing here as well, depending upon the generation schedule.
Hiwassee Stripers
If you like to catch big fish then the summer run of stripers on Hiwassee is something that you should look into. Striper fishing on the Hiwassee is comparable to big game hunting. You may not catch a high number of fish, but the ones that you will get into are large fish. The average striper that we take on the Hiwassee are anywhere in the 18-25lb range with many larger fish mixed in. This is a great fight on any type of tackle, but it is unforgetable when you get one on the fly.
On the Appalachia tailwater we start the chase in june and fish on through october. On some years we may see fish a littler earlier or later, this is mainly due to the water temperature in the lower reaches of the river.
