The Hiwassee's only Fly Shop
Gear - Food - Camp
Reliance Fly & Tackle is the area's oldest locally owned fly shop and country store, sitting right in the middle of Reliance, Tennessee - a mile from the Hiwassee River. We're an Orvis and TFO dealer. Pick up flies matched to today's hatch with info from our knowledgeable fishing guide, Dylan. Need gear?
We have you covered.
Every good story around here starts the same way - with a rod, the river, and
no particular hurry to be anywhere else.
Gear up with RFT
Guided Trips and Floats
We are lucky enough to call these guys our friends. Here is a list of the fishing guides we recommend, and if you want to break up the fishing with kayaking or a float down the river we can hook you up as well.

Come on Down
There's a bend in the river not far below the shop where the water slows and goes glass-clear over the gravel. Regulars call it their spot, even though everybody's spot is somebody else's too. That's the thing about the Hiwassee - cold, steady, and generous enough that there's room for all of us...
Come find yours.
