Trout, Smallmouth and Musky fishing in the Southeast is some of the best in the nation.

And we know how to get you there.

We offer trips for various species and accommodate both fly fishermen and spin fishermen; however, several sections of river we fly fish exclusively. All fishing is catch and release with barbless hooks.

Float Trips

ECO has over 100 miles of river that we float on a regular basis. Our typical float trip covers 6-9 miles of river. These are our most popular trips, offering anglers access to stretches of river that would otherwise be inaccessible. Floats are offered for trout, smallmouth bass, and muskellunge. Book a float trip now…

Wilderness Walk Trips

There are over 3,000 miles of trout streams in the mountains of Western NC and Eastern TN. Flyfishing for native trout on these waters can be some of the most peaceful and inspirational fishing you’ll ever experience. These streams offer wild Brown, Rainbow, and Brook trout, and are a great opportunity for old pros or beginners. Book a wilderness walk trip now…

Overnight Trips

Sometimes it’s hard to get enough fishing in one day. For this reason, we offer overnight adventures. Our overnight trip covers approximately 15 miles of river over two full days. Enjoy comfortable camping without any hassle in our safari-style camp or choose to stay in a luxurious cabin along the riverside. All of the gear and gourmet meals are provided. This trip is a favorite among our regular guests. Book an overnight trip now…
