French Broad River Fishing

French Broad River Fishing

The French Broad River is a smallmouth anglers dream. The river is full of smallmouth and you always have an opportunity at catching your personal best here. We’ve been devoting a lot of time here the past few years and we’ve seen how special this river can be. The river never fishes the same two days in a row so we enjoy the challenge of figuring out what the bass are keying in on. We enjoy catching these river bass on a variety of different methods which can be jigging soft plastics or throwing topwater lures. The French Broad River fishes best from downtown Asheville all the way to Hot Springs, North Carolina. The river presents ledges, eddys, and boulders that create the perfect habitat for big bass. Our float trips are specifically customized to our anglers preferences and we are dedicated to making your trip enjoyable. If you are looking to book a smallmouth float trip down the French Broad River it would be best to stay in Asheville or Black Mountain. Both cities are very close to where we will be fishing and provide an array of fun things to do after our trip. Check out some of our best catches on the river in 2020!
