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!
