Fishing and other outdoor adventures have been front and center for the last few days. Last week I did a trip to the Smokies, a hike, a local trip for winter stocked trout, and a trip to a local pond to check out the panfish population. This week I spent the last few days with friends camping at Smokemont. I'm happy to report that the local brown trout population on the North Carolina side of the Park is healthy.
Over on the Tennessee side, the spring mayfly, caddis, and stoneflies have all started. The hatch will continue to increase in intensity over the next several days so this is a good time to start thinking about a
fly fishing trip in the Smokies!
I will try to get some specific trip reports and stories up over the next few days so check back for more soon!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful brown and even prettier piece of stream there, which side is the stream on Tennessee or NC? Have you fished this area? Thanks for sharing
Bill, that shot is of the Sinks on Little River between the Wye and Metcalf Bottoms. I have fished that pool a few times and usually do well although it is a dangerous area.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, David. That is a pretty piece of water for sure. I agree, it does look a little dangerous. Though, when I was as young as you, thing like that didn't deter me much!
ReplyDeleteMel, it doesn't deter me much but the more hard falls I take the more cautious I get anymore it seems...
