Asheville Fly Fishing Company

Asheville Fly Fishing Company is a small outfitter owned and run by working guides, with no retail storefront behind it; bookings, gift certificates and branded merchandise all move through its own site. The Asheville base puts the crew within reach of a wide spread of southern Appalachian water beyond the home river, including the Watauga, South Holston, Nolichucky and Pigeon over toward the Tennessee line and the Davidson plus the wild trout streams of Pisgah National Forest closer to town. Planning notes on the site cover what to bring, lodging options and local food and beer for visiting anglers, and the company keeps a blog and individual profiles for each guide on staff. Recognition listed includes repeated TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice awards across 2020 and 2022 through 2026.
