{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Guide in Gatlinburg, TN

If you are thinking of fishing smoky mountain national park (which is close) I would not bother with a guide.  It is pretty easy fishing and there are a number of guidebooks on the park.  If you have ever fished shenandoah it is similar fishing altough many of the streams have more browns and rainbows than brook trout. 
 
If you are interested in the park I can give you some streams to try.  I went to grad school in NC and spent a good bit of time there.  Beautiful place.  Haven't fished the tailwaters but my brother has fished the holston and said it was excellent.

How far are you willing to drive and what type of water do you want to fish? There have to be loads of little freestone creeks holding brookies very close by in the National Park, and you have two big tailwaters within 2 hours drive. The two tailwaters are the Clinch River near Knoxville, which is mostly accessible by boat and the South Holston is up toward Bristol from there with wade and float opportunities. I don't have any personal guide recommendations for the area but a good friend recommends Teo Whitlock for the Holston, and I'm sure someone else here has floated with another guide.
