Activity Stream

This may be heresy on this site but you can fish large weighted nymphs and streamers weighted with split shot with a spinning rod.

Yep, Thank you two! I appreciate it!

David and Jim, You two are always top notch stewards in helping others find joy! Thanks and great job fellas!

I typically high stick almost exclusively in the GSMNP. Like most of you I've had good days and bad just depending on different factors and the...

One thing to remember when fishing a two fly rig in the GSMNP is that they have to be at least 12” apart. You will not find this in the general...

I typically do not use an indicator although I use some indicator tippet at times ("Euro" style). I ALWAYS carry one with me though and add it to the...

Hey David, When you fish a nymph, do you use a strike indicator? How is a dry with a nymph dropper different that a nymph with a strike...

Whether to get close or stay farther back really depends on the fish and where it is sitting. I always get as close as possible to a big fish but...

Hello Hokie. Just email me at chays_chays@yahoo.com. Talk soon!

I have a couple questions for you. How can I reach out not on a message board? Hokie.

If you want your kids to catch fish, don't forget about Roaring Fork outside of the national Park but in the city limits. My cabin is on this...

I just really like fishing Roaring Fork, but I'm open for any suggestions. With all the plunge pools, its been my (limited)experience that for people...

I am on the other end of the spectrum size wise. Don't laugh as my measurements are correct. I am around 5' 2" tall on a good day. My waist is 44 and...

Thanks to everyone who volunteered and helped with the Little River Clean-Up on Saturday April 6th at Metcalf Bottoms sponsored by the Little River...

Is there a particular reason for choosing Roaring Fork? Where are you camping? Backcountry or car camping? There might be better water available than...

I recommend you to buy from Mixxmix Coupons at Reecoupons. Because I also got one from there and they are the real piece of comfort, available at a...

Hello and welcome to the board.

I think it's a shame that you can't hardly find a fly line that isn't some gaudy neon color. They will definitely spook fish at times. I agree with...

Hike above Elkmont. Take time to look at some of the old cabings that have been restored. The Litlle River Trail is a road bed without much grade for...

Keep your false cast low and to a minimum. learn how to make your leader land softly. Think about where most threats to fish in a stream come from....

Jim, I tend to agree with you. Sometimes I think that the fly line companies make the lines in such bright gaudy colors in order to attract fishermen...

I don’t care much for the colors available. I try to consider what the trout would see when the fly line is above the water but in the trouts’ view...

I think I need to clarify: Its rare that I don’t catch fish in the smokies. It’s just not particularly prolific given what you have to put out. It...
