Little River outfitters in Townsend has fly gear, reports, and works with some local guides. I like the Abrams Creek/Little River areas of the park, including Elkmont and Tremont. This is small water once you get in the park, so a 4 wt would be the absolute max you would need, and I fished a 3 for years. One of my favorite things to do was to hike to below Abrams Falls from upstream, and then fish downstream from the falls with streamers or big meat flies. You'll catch rainbows and smallmouth, with the very (and I mean very) occasional brown towards the lower end. That is a full-day excursion though. Basic rule of thumb for there is hike upstream to find more fish and solitude, hike downstream for larger fish. But some of the high plunge pools will surprise you.
