There are 3 different fishing licenses for this area. It just depends on the river. If you are fishing in town you need a one day $11.50 license. In the park for wild trout you will need a $20.50 for a 3 day license and state stocked water you will need $40.50 for a 3 day to fish that. If you stop by the shop we can point you in the right direction! Do not go to walmart because we literally have to fix there mistakes quite a bit.
A license for Tennessee or North Carolina works for the park but not a Kentucky licence. A Tennessee license is better if you plan on staying closer to Gatlinburg and going in the park. Smokey mountain angler is a really great place to start. They will get you what you need and without trying to sell you what you don't. Plus local guys and no pressure makes for a way better experience than Walmart.
When i went i was able to do a tour, rent equipment, and pay for a TN license in store.
No. Fishing license is State to State. I was surprised at how much a license was in Tennessee though. They even charge you more if your fishing for trout. Wal-Mart is always your best bet when getting one.
