Nice section of water

I always like Pretty Hollow to Lost Bottom. Not the biggest fish in the park, but they're usually eager to take a fly. I caught 32 on that section one day earlier this year ;)

waist pack for big items, pockets for flies, etc.

I wear a waist pack for raingear, lunch, water filter, etc. I carry my flies, tippet, nippers, floatant, etc. in shirt pockets.

just a sock

I just stick my rod in the sock that usually goes into the tube. I then stick that down one side of my pack. Tubes just weigh too much. An extra rod (in case I break it) weighs less than the tube...

Water Levels 5/10 - 16

Heading down to the NC side of the mountains for a little R&R (read that as "fishing").

Any updates on water levels at mid-elevations?

Oconoluftee, Noland, Deep, Bradley, etc.

Thanks,

I love to wade the streams in the Smokies, but closer to home, I use my Tarpon to ply the waters for Smallies in local rivers and big browns in the...

Watch for the bears at 39.

That said, I concur with staying at the front-country campground. It provides access to all the water and is usually quite and peaceful compared to most other...
