Planning a guided fishing trip for smallmouth bass in East Tennessee? Discover some of the best river fishing in the Southeast with an expert-guided experience tailored for anglers of all skill levels. Our guided trips specialize in targeting trophy smallmouth bass on the scenic Holston River, one of Tennessee’s premier fisheries known for its clear water, consistent flows, and healthy bass population.

Whether you're a seasoned angler chasing your next personal best or a beginner looking to learn the fundamentals, our professional guides provide everything you need for a successful day on the water. Ellis has dedicated years learning how to most effectively target these predators, and has the best available rods, lines, flies and lures available.

In addition to the Holston River, we also offer unforgettable float fishing trips on the French Broad River and the Nolichucky River. Each river offers a unique experience—from calm, scenic stretches perfect for relaxed casting to more adventurous water that holds aggressive, hard-fighting smallmouth bass.

Our trips are designed to be stress-free and fully customizable. Whether you are a fly-only angler, prefer to fish conventional gear, or want to mix up fishing both throughout the day - we have the gear and the knowledge to do it all.
