Mountain Sports Ltd. Flyfishing

We here at Mountain Sports are fortunate to have two of the Southeast's finest trout fisheries at our doorstep. The South Holston and Watauga rivers, each about 15 miles long, make up the headwaters of the entire TVA chain of rivers, impoundments and lakes down to Guntersville, AL. As headwaters, both lakes claim the cleanest water TVA has to offer. In addition, hydroelectric power generating schedules are friendlier, aquatic insect life is more prolific and, owing to their relatively small size, wadeablity is easier than anywhere along the chain. Both dams are bottom release discharging cold, nutrient rich, highly oxygenated water downstream.

South Holston. The South Holston flows out of its namesake dam for 14 miles just 20 minutes from Mountain Sports' front door. The Holston offers a graduate school fly-fishing experience. The river hosts a 34% wild fish population that will challenge even advanced fly-fishers. The Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency stocks fingerling and catchable Browns and Rainbows that acclimate quickly and enjoy a high growth rate. These fish serve beginning and intermediate fly-fishers well. Lots of stocked fish hold over annually, conditioning them to a point that makes them virtually indistinguishable from their wild cousins. Read More...
