Overnight multi-day float Fishing trips
2-6 Anglers | 2-4 Days fishing | 1-3 night stay
*Rates vary depending on number of people, number of days, and accommodations.
So much water, so little time. If you need more than one day of fishing, we understand all too well.
The Guided Float Fishing Trip is the most popular among our guests. If we had to choose one trip as a favorite, it would be without hesitation, the full day Float Trip for Trout, Smallmouth Bass or Musky. No other trip allows you to access over 100 miles of scenic river that is not accessible by foot. That means fewer people, less pressure and the best fishing. The Multi-Day Trips extend your time on the water and offer several different options that combine guided fishing and overnight accommodations. Please contact us with questions or to discuss your ideal fishing getaway.
Guided Trout Trips are our most popular trip and take you to East Tennessee's South Holston River & Watauga River for a chance at the fish of a lifetime. Read more on these two rivers and why they are among the best in the southeast on our Rivers Page.
Musky Float Trips take you to the Nolichucky River or French Broad River where we are certain that any encounter with a musky will have your heart racing and your knees shaking.
Guided Smallmouth Bass Trips are one of our specialties. We primarily target smallmouth on the fly but offer conventional spin tackle as an alternative. We have access to over 400 miles of pristine water among four large river systems surrounding Asheville NC and have two private base camps with exclusive access. We go the extra river miles for our guests.
AFFC is the only guide service in the area offering Multi-Day Trips and Smallmouth Bass Whitewater both with the option of Overnight accommodations. These trips are truly a remote wilderness experience.
AFFC guides are trained to the highest level: ACA Level IV Swift Water Rescue, CPR / First Aid certified and fully insured.
Our private gourmet chef is bringing Asheville’s “farm to table” experience to the river. This service became very popular during the pandemic and offers a safe alternative to eating out.
