Could not ask for a better guide than Korey. He is as fishy as they come, and awesome to spend a day in the boat with. I first fished with Korey two years ago, and I will fish with him anytime I’m over in the Tennessee area. Whether you’re a novice, expert, or somewhere in between… Korey is your guy. Less

The proof is in the butter. Korey knows his water like no one else, and is truly a master of his craft. From fly selection, to boat position, he is the best on the water. We only book with Appalachian Outdoors because we know that no matter what, the time we spend on the water together will be special. Here’s to the next one 🎣 Less

Korey is nothing short of a legend on the water. I am still a beginner but I have gone with him twice now and feel I can fish as well as the best of them. Patient, kind, and knows the spots. It is impressive. Plus, you just have a good time on the water no matter what your skill level is. Don't think twice and fish with these guys. Less

5 stars is not enough to rate my experiences fishing with Korey. His knowledge, coaching, and sheer great times have always exceeded my expectations. I’ll let some of these pictures tell you the rest of our success. Whether you are a beginner or advanced. Whether you’re hunting big fish or just shear numbers. This is your guy! Cheers my friend!

Korey is an excellent guide to send time on the river with! For all the trips I've been on across the country Korey stands out as the most knowledgable guide I've crossed paths with. I have been on four trips with Korey and have also sent my wife and 9 year old daughter with him. He was very patient and encouraging with my daughter (who was fly fishing for the first time). Each trip has been a wonderful experience on some of the most beautiful stretches of river I have ever seen. Korey knows where the fish are and how to put them in the boat. Korey makes the trip fun and easy, give him a call. You will not be disappointed! Less

Korey Hartley is the best fly guide there is! 12/10 highly recommend booking a date with him to have a chance at a fish of a lifetime and memories you will never forget! Less

Great time! My 9 year old son and I did a half day float trip down the South Holston. Korey was incredible with my son on his first experience fly fishing. Can’t wait to get out again! Less

Always have a blast on Korey Hartley’s boat!!! Also… he has always showed great patience with us. We’re not all experts but he puts us on the fish nonetheless. Less
