Southern Drifters Outfitters

My cousin recently moved to Burnsville and wanted to learn how to fly fish. Reached out to Kyle (the owner) and he could NOT have been more awesome or accommodating! Had Nick catching Rainbows, Browns and Brooks in minutes! Man knows his craft!! Know the best local spots and just a great fellow!

Can wait to come back to Burnsville!

Had a great time here, bought some fly tying stuff, a few flies and some hooks, got to use them directly after at the creek near our vacation rental. Loved going here!

Took a half day trip with Kyle. Great experience, he was upfront with expectations of the trip. He was able to get another guide because we had 5 guys. They both worked hard to get us on the fish. Highly reccomend booking a trip with these guys.

My sister and I had a half day wade trip with Bryce and I cannot express how fantastic it was. Bryce was kind and professional; A wonderful conversationalist and was super patient. He was extremely knowledgeable and was overall an outstanding guide. Our expectation was just to have fun; catching some beautiful rainbows were a perk!

Awesome shop! Our guide Bryce was really knowledgeable and put us on the trout! We will be back. Really nice guy he helped one of the guys in group who had never used a fly rod and had him catching trout. Can't say enough good things about our trip. Great time!

Awesome store with awesome service! A+ people!

Kyle has helped me more than you can imagine! I love this store and he is a wealth of knowledge, always willing to help and always points me in the right direction! I highly recommend these guys for guided trips and any other fishing needs!

5 Stars!! Selection is tough BUT really that is because of the Covid19 with inventory. YOU want fly fishing, You want Quality, this is a great little hidden gym in Burnsville. Excellent service, friendly staff, and they will work to try to order what you want if the Manufacturer has the inventory. Also, Shh, but they will haggle! So don't be shy! *edited because really inventory isn't their fault and the response of reply was very professional & showa their personalities at the shop. Cheers!

We enjoyed our trout fishing excursion with Bryce SO MUCH, and cannot share enough wonderful things about him and the experience! Absolutely loved our time with Bryce, our time on the river and will definitely do this again!

Terrific guiding. Had a bite within 10 minutes of getting on the river. They know their stuff. Very helpful with casting advice as I was more than a little rusty. Highly recommend

From hiking mountain Mitchell to fly fishing the crystal clear streams below it, Southern Drifters Outfitters can help you get started. Very convenient location as well as high quality outdoor clothing, gear and fly fishing equipment. Great place and friendly people who have a wealth of knowledge.

Awesome fly shop and great advice. The flys he sold me put me on my first mountain trout here in NC.

Kyle was friendly and extremely helpful. He is also very knowledgeable about fishing in the area.

I want to thank Kyle for helping me out today. Super helpful for a beginner like me showed me all I need and was willing to help. Will absolutely go back.

Came in and asked where I could find trout. Main guy told me a place and it was spot on. Went back and bought a rod. Thank you so much for helping me in a new place. Great place

We did a half day float trip with Southern Drifters and had a great time learning and catching fish. Highly recommend!
