The Gift That Lasts a Lifetime
Gift Certificates
Give the angler in your life something no fly shop can sell — a day on the finest trout water in the eastern United States with the most experienced guide in the region.
The Perfect Gift
The Perfect Gift for Any Angler
Gear gets used up. Flies get lost. Rods get replaced. But the knowledge, confidence, and memories built on a great day of fly fishing on the rivers of the Great Smoky Mountains — those stay with a person forever. A Mac Brown Fly Fish gift certificate is not just a day on the water. It is an investment in someone's journey as an angler that pays dividends for the rest of their life.

Who This Gift Is For
The Complete Beginner
Someone who has always wanted to try fly fishing but never had the right introduction. A guided trip with Mac Brown is the finest first experience available anywhere in the Southeast.
The Frustrated Intermediate
The angler who has been fishing for years and hit a wall they cannot break through alone. One casting lesson or guided day fixes more than years of solo practice.
The Serious Angler
The accomplished fly fisher who wants to go deeper — into advanced technique, remote water, or the kind of instruction that only comes from a Master Casting Instructor with four decades on these rivers.
