I'm giving this place 5 stars because there is no other fly fishing shop in Knoxville they are…read morequite friendly and when you go in the store very knowledgeable. They have a fair amount of fly tying material and supplies but if your looking to get vises bobbins and tying accessories they do not vary those. They do not have a large selection of fly rods or reels but again you can order through them and they can get it for you. They do put line on reels and have some options for backing. This is more of a boutique fly shop in comparison to the fly shop in Townsend. They also do not sell fishing licenses here. They do have good selection of packs waders and nets and nice amount of flies for the clinch, smokies and little river.

I'll begin by saying I've been in this fly shop two different times, same experience with different…read moreworkers. I'm a somewhat new fly fisherman, so I get what I'm doing but still have questions and want recommendations from experienced anglers. When I asked questions about items I wanted to buy I got the vibe that I was annoying them and should just leave so they didn't have to answer questions or do work. If you are a privately owned fly shop your #1 priority should be customer service. You don't have the luxury of online sales and multiple nation wide stores for the company to succeed. So, two days later I drove all the way to Orvis in Sevierville, TN. The worker there spent 45mins with me answering questions and BSing. I ended up buying a rod, reel, a few shirts and stickers from them and will be a returning customer to Orvis for sure.

A-1 "TRASH" Do not purchase from these people. Rude,…read morebelligerent, sarcastic, and snotty trying to entrap the unsuspecting. Called them for some 'Federal' ammo and he was confused. First he said they had one box and then he stated they're only available online. I said" How many are available online" and he said "Oh God". He was static for at least twenty seconds, then he stated we have PMC ammo 'dude'. He then said 'I'm telling you'. I said "You're not telling me anything "sonny" and he hung up. *Addendum Actually, I was calling for Federal ammunition 'not' PRC. A1 Trash was advertising on Ammoseek and stating they had 18 boxes in stock. However, upon calling the belligerent person said "We can order it for you from someone else": 'We don't have any in store'. Then he said you can order it online. 'He said "We have PRC dude". When I questioned him further he became irate and again was belligerent. In fact, we conduct business all the time with numerous retailers and have never heard of A1 Tactical (TRASH). We'll remember these people and advise everyone not to purchase from them. These people are shysters trying to defraud others. Purchase at your 'own risk'. This alleged retailer is a third party seller scraping the bottom of the barrel. ** Our calls are logged and recorded. If you wish to file a slander suit or start litigation, we're ready!

They shipped to my local gun store in a very reasonable time and was totally pleased with the whole transaction. I also need to mention they have great guest service! I love purchasing from a small business rather than the big box stores. If I need to purchase a gun in the future, I will definitely use them again. I recently

Little River Outfitters is a bit of a hidden gem. We decided to visit while we were staying in…read moreGatlinburg, since I've gotten the itch to get back into fly fishing after a 20+ year hiatus. Dennis welcomed my wife and I as soon as we walked in the door and after I explained my situation and target types of waters he took me straight to the perfect affordable setup. He expertly answered my questions and refrained from trying to upsell me to the readily available much more expensive options. Once we'd made our choices he left us to wander the store browsing. In the end I walked out with a nice rod and reel combo, a few extra leads and tippets and a big smile on my face. If you a tired of the big stores where they treat you more like money bags than fellow anglers, check out Little River Outfitters. It's well worth the drive and the personal and very knowledgeable service.

First of all, this shop is AMAZING!!!!!!! I am 10 years old just starting fly fishing and fly tying…read morethey are very very nice, respectful, and knowledgeable!

Gunnys was my husband's Christmas present which ended with my husband saying no an walking out because of the staff. Maybe put some good natured guys in there instead of moody women. This was my husband's 3rd time there an he said it's always like that an swore to not go again but he went again because it was a gift. Terrible how ppl can ruin someone's day. I will be telling everyone gunnys is not worth the trouble an vibe these ladies put off. It's a gun shop sure be tough but tough an being arse hole are different. Sorry gunnys your not worth the time.

He is great teacher and always willing to explain what is happening, why it's happening, weather, moon phases and how to tackle these as an angler.

If you are going to spend the $$ to hire a musky guide might as well get the best!

I attended an Intro to Archery workshop put on by TNWF and hosted by Jeff and his team here at the…read moreshop. I did archery as a kid (many moons ago) so felt a bit like starting over. The workshop was great, and all the guys were very patient and kind with all of us (mostly women). I went out a couple weeks later to try out a couple bows and Brent was very helpful and patient despite the fact I am so new to archery. He explained things to me as we went that helped me understand more about the sport and made me even more excited about it, and he didn't balk at my many questions. I'm looking forward to getting back out there to make my purchase and then making good use of their ranges and improving my skills!

While they also have a ton of stuff for skateboarders as well, there cream of the crop is definitely disc golf. I've been to Pluto's a couple of times in the past when visiting the Knoxville area. What's cool about Pluto's is that they have free maps of all the disc golf parks in the Knoxville and Farragut areas if you ask. The staff is also very nice and approachable. For this place, think comic book store but for disc golf, it's got exactly that feel. They have a huge selection of discs at various weights, as well as collectible discs that are no longer being printed and "light weight" discs for your girl or your guy who has no throw. I went in here recently to pick up a new champion plastic and was by no means disappointed. This place gets five stars because: 1: the place has a relaxed and chill comic book store feel but is for a different kind of nerd. 2: the staff are not only approachable and friendly, but they are also knowledgeable about the areas the store sells. 3: the selection for disc golfers here is on fleek!! 4: they have types of discs here that are rare. They have lightweight discs here, which is also rare. 5: the price for discs is not too bad.
