Well, I am safely back in the great, or at least alright state of Oklahoma after visiting your neck of the woods for a week. Although the touristy parts of pigeon forge left much to be afraid of in my book, the rest of my stay was absolutely wonderful. I was able to get to LRO to get some supplies and fell in love with that shop. I was going to be teaching my brother in law and my wife's cousin. So they needed to get set up as well and that staff there was very helpful. I needed some new wading boots and got those there as well. Great place.
So our first morning on the little river was interesting to say the least. we got there around 7AM and my brother in law was blessed with the first fish of the day, a four inch 'bow, caught on a PTN. I, myself, didn't fair as well on that section. But I did have a great time watchting thme and taking pictures for their wives.
We then went up to trail leading up to panther trail. I can't recall the name. I had tied up two bright yellow parachute dries early that morning and tied one on. I climbed down to the stream and cast out to a pool under a waterfall and caught several 4" bows. We progressed up stream for most of the day, ending a bit above the Panther Creek turnoff. In all I caught 6 small trout.
That was the toughest fishing I have ever done. But it was absolutely beautiful country. Iwouldn't have cared if I didn't catch athing. Great time.
