FLOAT TRIPS

Based out of the Asheville, North Carolina, we are fortunate to be surrounded by a handful of beautiful rivers and creeks. Whatever direction it may be there are rivers nearby. Southern Appalachian Anglers, Asheville's trophy fishing guide service, specializes in trophy trout, smallmouth bass and musky fishing float trips.

We offer full- and half-day guided fishing trips. Float trips allow anglers to float down the river in a drift boat or an outfitted fishing raft to cover miles of river. An incredible and relaxing experience that offers a day on the water in our beautiful mountains. Choose between trophy trout fly fishing, smallmouth fishing or musky fishing trips. If you are experienced and are just looking to learn how to fish a new river, take a look at the locations where we guide and decide what river you would like to visit.
