That's a big fish

It's funny you bring this up. My wife and I hiked the trail behind Tremont Institute about 10 days ago. The park service had just finished paving Tremont Rd. There was the largest yellow sally...

I've been using imgur.com but I also think flickr can now post to message boards.

Yep!!!!!!!!!

I'll be wet wading by the end of the week. That is if I don't go turkey hunting instead. I've gotten soft as I've gotten older, but it'll be warm enough to loose the waders after this warm front.

Now that we've posted all that, be sure to have some size 12 parachute Adams with you. My wife and I were walking in the park last night. Around 6:30, there were some awesome hatches going on. ...

Awesome fish

In addition to what Chase said, add some small streamers. Fish first thing in the AM and don't move on to rainbows or brookies until you catch one.

felt 100% of the time.

Cool videos. You don't see too many people targeting gar.

JayR nailed it. Sometimes I fish fast, a lot of the time I fish real fast, but sometimes I fish slow. I just fish the speed that I'm enjoying.

That is a nice fish!!!

This. When there are a lot of people asking where to fish while staying in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Townsend, it's hard to recommend them driving 1.5 hours away to fish the NF. Also, a lot of...

Judging by the rain we got overnight and Wednesday being a 100% chance of more rain, you'd be taking chances on finding fishable water. Although the higher streams may be fishable. If I had a 3...

When I take a rookie fishing, it's normally in a place that has quantity over quality. Metcalf Bottoms can get boring if you aren't catching fish.

I'd take him to one of the more popular...

That is a good read. Thanks

Without giving away too much info, here's a few streams worth exploring:

Bald River
Doublecamp Creek
North River
North Fork Citico Creek
South Fork Citico Creek
Sycamore Creek

Pick up a...

Yes.

How's that for a little direction.

I'd start fishing the DH section of Tellico right now, and then venture out from there.

For most of my ties, I use beaver. I also have grey and yellow superfine and a hares mask. I like the superfine for my parachutes. Hares mask for nymphs and soft hackles.

The TWRA website changed when all the state websites changed and it absolutely sucks now. I fish and hunt in several states each year and TN's is the worst to navigate through. This change was...

I'd do what Chris recommended. You might actually enjoy catching bream as much as you do the trout.

But, you can also pick-up a pack of trout magnets and wear them out in the mountains. I've...

Awesome report!!! Glad you were able to introduce your daughter to the backcountry.

I should also say that until today, my fall trips to the Clinch have been similar to fourx's in terms of fish and midge activity.

Water temp was not taken with a fancy thermometer. It was taken...

Welcome. Looking forward to seeing some of your posts.

I fished the weir today and there was a decent amount of midge activity. In 2.5 hours I caught 3 stocker rainbows, broke 2 fish off, had 2 straighten hooks, and LDR'ed quite a few more. Water temp...
