Fly shop near Knoxville

[Chiflyguy]

Hey guys,
Where is the nearest fly shop that sells tying stuff close to Knoxville or south of there.
I know about 3 rivers anglers. Good shop?

3 rivers is abysmal, you couldn't run a business any worse than they do.

Little river outfitters is excellent in Townsend and I think the new orvis store is pretty good.

The best shop I've ever been in is FlySouth in nashville. Great people and a giant selection of everything.

I've heard good things about this place,

Little River is the Bass Pro of fly shops and great folks. Codey at Tellico Outfitters is awesome and a good smaller shop as well but a further drive for you. You couldn't go wrong with either one.

Another vote for Little River.

I like the concept of small heavy nymphs. and having control.
I do like the New Zealand wool for an indicator.
Honestly, I just like buying fly rods.

He used the word "eh" too. That's two strikes at attempting to be a Appalachian! Lol. And btw, TVA has nothing to do with the places REAL trout live so that's irrelevant.

Euro nymph ing is daubing, similar to crappie fishing

Little river outfitters in this area. seriously, don't waste gas or time going to 3 rivers. You Probably have more inventory than they do

I get a lot from bass pro shop. Animals I've killed, and road kill. I've got to where I have 3 or 4 types that I tie and just change colors. They've been pretty effective here in Tennessee. Went to Colorado for elk this post hunting season and everything I tied worked pretty well.
