I have lived in the Chattanooga area for two years and my experiences with Choo Choo Fly & Tackle have been great. In my two years in Chattanooga I have spent several collective days with the guide staff at the shop; I have been on the Tennessee river and the Elk river with the guide staff. I have been provided excellent professional service from the shop staff and the guides. The shop sells Sage, St. Croix, Scientific Angler, Simms, Cloudveil, Filson(one of my favorite companies), Umpqua, Rio, Smith Optics, and several more. GREAT SELECTION. The store staff has helped me with directions to local and regional fisheries, flies, apparel, and fishing knowledge. The poor reviews can be easily dismissed by stopping into the shop to pick up some new gear, get expert advice on your next outing, or reserve a private casting lesson or guided trip.
