What a great experience we had fishing with Wes. He was very informative about the park, and put us on several spots to catch some brook trout. My 9 year old son had an amazing time. Wes really made the day about him and was very patient with a rambunctious boy. Can’t say enough good things about the day, it was awesome. If you ever want to go fishing around the Smoky Mountains I highly recommend booking a trip with Wes.

I've lived here for years and love to fish, but was raised/learned how to fish in Florida. I had no idea what I was doing trying to catch trout. After spending the day with Wes it's no wonder why I never had much luck in these streams. With instruction from Wes I've never had so much action on my line in these streams in all my time fishing them. It finally took my wife surprising me for my 50th birthday with this trip for this to happen. Why do we put off experiences in life and make excuses? So, yes, now you need to call SMG, ask for Wes and book a trip upstream.
