I'll just say this, if your ever in Tennessee & want to flyfish the South Holston. Korey Hartley is your GO TO GUIDE. Top notch in knowledge, & really grinds to get you on them. A 5 star review, should be 10. He also does other species & other waters. Looking forward to another epic outing with Korey!

Korey Hartley is one of the top guides for East Tennessee Rivers. We typically target larger trout and over the past 5-years we have put many 20”+ fish in the net. Korey is great at giving positive feedback during and after the fight. I highly recommend Korey Hartley and Appalachian Outdoors for their professional guide services.MarkCharlotte, NC

Had a good day on the water yesterday with Capt. Korey Hartley at Appalachian Outdoors. His knowledge of the Holston River and the bite was spot on and helped make for an enjoyable day.

Korey is as good as it gets! His knowledge of the South Holston and Wautuga rivers are second to none. I highly recommend and you will not be disappointed!

What a great experience I've had floating fhe river with Korey teice now. He is very knowledgeable about both conventional and fly fishing techniques and REALLY knows the river's intricacies. Korey is patient and extremely good at teaching in a way that works best with your learning type. Looking forward to many floats in the future! HIGHLY recommend!

A guided trip with Korey was the experience I had no idea I needed, but I'm sure glad I had! Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING about that trip was amazing. In addition to just being a great guy to be around and hang out with, from the moment I stepped onto the raft, he was supportive, informative and encouraging. Little tips here and there to help me catch more fish; never getting tired of paddling over to a spot where I'd gotten hung on a branch or rock; inspecting my line, bait and hook after every catch to make sure I was still putting forth the best presentation to the fish all added up to just an incredible day. Next time I go out with him, I'm not going to tell people that I'm going fishing, I'm going to tell them that I'm going "catching," because that's what you do with him. I lost count of how many fish I had pulled in within the first 2 hours. He gets you all over the fish. 10/10 Highly recommended!

My son had a blast with Korey! He took wonderful care of my son and his friend during their time out, and best of all, they had a successful fishing day with double digit catches for both! Core memory made for my boy! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
