The Story

Southeastern Anglers is among the oldest, most well-established fly-fishing outfitter and guide services in the southeastern US. Our team of mature guides have a lifetime of experience on the best fly-fishing waters the Southeast has to offer. We offer drift boat and jet boat trips on the Southeast's finest tailwaters for rainbow and brown trout as well as smallmouth bass and some other species. Located within thousands of acres of National Forest with large rivers, lakes, and streams near and available. We are a short drive from most major metropolitan hubs in the Southeast. Some of our rivers currently being serviced are the Hiwassee, Clinch, Holston, Toccoa, French Broad, Tellico, and Cumberland Rivers, as well as some high mountain reservoirs.

Southeastern Anglers was founded in 1999 as we pioneered drift boat fly fishing on these great southeastern tailwaters.
