About Little River Outfitters - Family Owned Since 1994
Nestled in the foothills of Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Townsend, Tennessee is a family owned fly shop and school that has become a landmark in the fly fishing world. Little River Outfitters was founded to serve anglers who visit the National Park to fly fish in it's 800 miles of wild trout streams. There is no stocking of trout in the Park and you will find only wild rainbow, brown and brook trout throughout the watersheds within. As anglers became friends with the shop they began ordering their tackle. The staff learned how to fish in saltwater and warmwater and customers relied on the staff to rig their tackle for any species they were fishing for. The strength of the shop is the staff. We employ 12 full and part time people who all love to fly fish and take care of angling customers.

To keep up with demand we designed and maintain this website so customers can order online and learn more about us and this area. This website project is all designed and maintained in house. It is updated every day. One of the most popular features you will find is the Message Board. Our members have posted a huge amount of information and chat about fishing in the Smokies, in Tennessee and throughout the United States. You can gain a lot of knowledge by reading the board and participate yourself. Just ask questions and you'll get several answers. Another popular feature is the Fishing Report. It is written and updated every day. The Online Catalog is easy to navigate and it's full of fly fishing tackle and accessories. And, we have become known for our Beginner Fly Fishing School. Hundreds of students get their start in this sport at our school every year. We started in 1994 in a 600 square foot store. We have grown to our own 7,000 square foot facility.
