Since opening the doors of the fly shop in April 1996, the business has come a long way. Our experience in all areas of the fly fishing industry has enabled us to become a worldwide destination outfitter.

As with the guide services, service is what sets us apart from other shops. We are happy to spend time with our customers in hopes they will come to love the sport of fly fishing.

The store is a full-service fly shop. We carry rods, reels and all the accessories from all the top manufacturers for any fishing adventure. Whether it's Bluegill or Tarpon you seek, we have what you need.

We are happy to order any item that we don't have on hand. Also, because our staff are all experienced guides and fishermen, we can provide top-notch, informed service.

Opening the fly shop has enabled Appalachian Angler to provide a complete package to our visiting anglers. We are happy to offer advice on gear needs for trips with us and any other angling endeavor you might have.

We have local area maps and one of the largest, most comprehensive fly selections in the Southeast.

We will happily spend time with you casting outside the shop, or just across the street on the Watauga River. If you are in the area, either fishing with us, or fishing on your own, stop in our shop for a visit.
