Fly shop near Knoxville

Chiflyguy · Feb 2, 2023

Hey guys,
Where is the nearest fly shop that sells tying stuff close to Knoxville or south of there.
I know about 3 rivers anglers. Good shop?

3 rivers is abysmal, you couldn't run a business any worse than they do.

Little river outfitters is excellent in Townsend and I think the new orvis store is pretty good.

The best shop I've ever been in is FlySouth in nashville. Great people and a giant selection of everything.

Little River is the Bass Pro of fly shops and great folks. Codey at Tellico Outfitters is awesome and a good smaller shop as well but a further drive for you. You couldn't go wrong with either one.

Another vote for Little River.

I like the concept of small heavy nymphs. and having control.
I do like the New Zealand wool for an indicator.
Honestly, I just like buying fly rods.

He used the word "eh" too. That's two strikes at attempting to be a Appalachian! Lol. And btw, TVA has nothing to do with the places REAL trout live so that's irrelevant.

Little river outfitters in this area. seriously, don't waste gas or time going to 3 rivers. You Probably have more inventory than they do

I get a lot from bass pro shop. Animals I've killed, and road kill. I've got to where I have 3 or 4 types that I tie and just change colors. They've been pretty effective here in Tennessee. Went to Colorado for elk this post hunting season and everything I tied worked pretty well.
