As far as fly shops in Knoxville, there is the Creel on Kingston Pk. About a 35 min. drive into Townsand is Little River Outfitters. There is also a Bass Pro Shops about a 30 min. drive at the Sevierville exit of I40. There is great trout fishing below Norris Dam about a half hour from downtown Knoxville. There is also great trout fishing in the Smokeys. At the time you will be here the fishing will be fantastic. If I can be of any more help please let me know. John
