Southeastern Anglers is a professional, Orvis-endorsed fly-fishing outfitter serving anglers in the Southern Appalachians and surrounding regions. In business since 1999, the company describes itself as the only Orvis-endorsed guide service on the Cumberland and Hiwassee rivers. Its current focus is guided fishing trips on those rivers, with additional river information and fishing resources covering the Holston, South Holston, Watauga, Clinch, Tellico, Toccoa and other destinations.

The outfitter offers both drift-boat and wade-fishing trips, as well as fly-fishing instruction. Float trips use ClackaCraft drift boats and center-console jetboats. Trips include experienced, professional guides, maintained boats and equipment, and drinks and snacks; full-day trips also include lunch. Southeastern Anglers presents its outings as guided experiences designed to help guests enjoy the rivers in comfort, whether they are looking for instruction or a day on the water. The website also provides rates and booking information, trip-preparation resources, fishing reports, details about its guides, and information on Patagonia fly-fishing.
