Tennessee

Tennessee offers a surprising and remarkably accessible fly fishing experience. The tailwaters of the Caney Fork and Hiwassee rivers sustain healthy populations of large brown and rainbow trout just a short drive from Nashville and Chattanooga. And within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, hundreds of miles of wild brook trout streams wind through some of the most spectacular forest in the East — the largest old-growth broadleaf forest in North America.

Appalachian old-growth broadleaf forest, wild mountain streams over rhododendron-lined banks, pastoral river valleys, and the distinctive blue haze of the Smoky Mountains.
