The South Holston and Watauga tailwaters outside of Elizabethton and Johnson City Tennessee offer anglers some of the best fishing the Southeast has to offer. With a long season of dynamic bug life and resident trout, these streams can be terrific fishing almost year-round! If you've fished the area before and always wanted to see the guides' perspective or just want to try out a full day float - these streams are the best we have!

The Boone and High Country area is blessed with having hundreds of miles of trout streams within driving distance. We have plenty of public stocked fisheries right here out the back door, and we have lots of off the beaten path unpressured streams with wild native trout as well. Whether it's just cutting your teeth on a half-day on the stocked streams, or blazing a trail miles into the wilderness systems of Pisgah - High Country Guide Service can offer a professional experience on the water.

​Come join us for incredible Leopard Rainbow fishing, unparalleled Salmon numbers, trophy Dolly Varden and pristine wilderness on our 7 days, 6-night float trip! Now booking for 2022!
