Larry,
If you go back to the drought years 2007-08 you could hardly find a rainbow trout in Little River that was more than 5-6 in. long, anywhere below Elkmont Campgrounds. There were some browns that made it and you can see the reflection of their sizes this year during the Quill Gordon hatch, They have had 5 years to grow without so much competition and we are witnessing the results this Spring of that 5 year growth cycle. It's kind of nice to see Mother Nature repair the damage.
