Hookers Fly Shop offers trips all over Western North Carolina, including the Highlands area. Just a short drive from Highlands is the Tuckasegee River, one of the best streams around. We offer both float and wade trips on many sections of this fantastic river, including the heavily stocked delayed harvest area. It is not uncommon to have days where 50+ fish are brought to the net on this section of river and it is highly likely that you will get the Tuck Slam here, all three species in one day. Guided fly fishing trips on the Tucksasegee offer a little something for everyone, from beginners to the most skilled anglers. We offer 1/2 day, 3/4 day and full day wade or float trips year round on the Tuckasegee River.
