5. Hiwassee River
One of the premier waterways for fly fishing in southeast Tennessee is a 55-miles stretch of the Hiwassee River. The remote fishing environment is one of the most naturally beautiful in Tennessee. You will not see roads, houses, cars, or many people while navigating this river system.
6. West Prong Stream
The West Prong Stream has many things going for it, including being one of only eight streams in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park where it is legal to catch and keep brook trout. The stream has large populations of brook and rainbow trout. It is located at a high elevation, with cold and rocky water, so it is an excellent stream to visit during hot summer days.
