Hands down the best fishing experience of my life, and the best guide I’ve ever had the pleasure of fishing with. Korey exceeded every expectation I had. We landed six fish over 20 inches, and my wife—on her very first time fly fishing—caught a trout over 20 inches as well. His knowledge of the river and ability to find fish is unmatched. If you’re not fishing with Korey, you’re missing out.

Seriously one of the best days fishing in 20 years of fly fishing! We braved the cold rain and snow and landed a ton of bows and browns! Super cool dudes who will get you on some trout!

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.

Another amazing day of fishing with Appalachian Outdoors!! Korey is a great guide! He puts us on the fish every time and also shares background on the rivers and landscape we encounter. Highly recommend!

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!
