Fly Fishing




Blackberry’s fly-fishing program is blessed to be in a region with a year-round fishing season, and we are proud to offer our guests the finest possible fly-fishing experiences in East Tennessee. Our staff of professional guides can quickly introduce beginners to the basics, or help the seasoned angler by providing intimate knowledge of our fisheries. Novice or old hand, local knowledge is hard to beat, and our guides are more than happy to share their favorite spots and tactics. Whether you’re stalking trophy sized trout on Hesse Creek, exploring the 800 fishable miles of wild trout streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or floating down beautiful stretches of well-known tailwaters your guide will show you a terrific day on the water.


ON-PROPERTY FLY FISHING

Guests have access to a buffet of options for freshwater fly fishing: a stream on our property, more than 1,000 miles of fishable trout streams in the neighboring Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and beautiful stretches of the well- known Clinch or Holston Rivers. Our guides and instructors can quickly introduce beginners to the basics of fly fishing or help the seasoned angler by providing the best local knowledge for a perfect day on the water. Beginner or old hand, our guides’ local knowledge is hard to beat. If you need instruction they can give it, or they are more than happy to show you the best spots. Guided trips can be taken on Hesse Creek, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or to one of the local tailwaters. Grey Drake is the fishing cabin that is home to our fly fishing schools, fly tying classes and private instruction.


HESSE CREEK

Blackberry Farm is home to what may be some of the best trout water in Tennessee. Beneath a canopy of trees, Hesse Creek harbors rainbow and brown trout ranging from eight inches to eight pounds. This jewel of a mountain stream is best fished in the Spring and Fall, but thanks to our mild weather and water temperatures, Hesse Creek can produce better-than-average fishing into the Summer, but especially in the Winter. For the beginner, Hesse Creek offers the perfect place to learn from the ground up or, for the experienced angler, an opportunity to chase bigger fish. The stream is a catch and release fishery and reserved for guided fly-fishing trips. Guided trips on Hesse Creek can be booked year-round ranging from one to eight-hour experiences.
