What types of rainbow trout fishing trips are common in Tennessee?

River fishing is the most popular type of fishing for rainbow trout in Tennessee as well as lake fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Tennessee are drift fishing, fly fishing, and wading but artificial lure fishing and light tackle fishing are popular as well.

How much does a Tennessee rainbow trout fishing trip cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for rainbow trout fishing in Tennessee?

The most popular season for rainbow trout fishing in Tennessee is spring, and most anglers book their trips 54 days in advance.

Do I need a Tennessee fishing license for rainbow trout and what are the bag limits for rainbow trout in Tennessee?

    This was my 16-year-olds first fly fishing experience. Preston was very good with him; friendly; good sense of humor; knowledgeable; and experienced. It was a positive experience overall. We will do this again and ask for Preston as a guide.
