Thought it would be worth a shot...I was downstream of Walland on LR today and my paddle knocked a rod out of my kayak in a pretty stout current. I couldnt find it and not sure where it ended up. It...

Agree with David 100% on George Daniel's book Dynamic Nymphing. It is really dense with details. Another resource that has been really helpful for me are some videos done by Lance Egan, Devin Olsen...

Thanks for sharing your memories with us.

This is extremely generous of you Jim. I thank you for being willing to share your expertise and success with this group. I can promise you that I will have some of both in my box in the very near...

Great fish. Beautiful markings. I bet that knucklehead with his dry fly didn't likely have one too big for his net that day. Thanks for sharing.

If you are into podcasts, April Vokey has one called Anchored. She just released an episode in which she interviews Joe Brooks's great nephew, who was one of the main people involved in the making of...

Nice. I knew it was about time for them to start up. I bet they wear out a clouser minnow fished shallow.

That makes sense. I am staying out of the main channels and working that shallower water you mentioned but fishing more parallel may help. I am with you in that I much prefer topwater. I start...

I have had some success with twister tail grubs and crayfish plastics. I am sure the rooster tails will get attention assuming the conditions are right.

Any of you that do any bass fishing on the lakes around here care to share some local knowledge? I am not looking for honey holes or anything like that. I live close to Lake Loudon and got a kayak...

I like the rule of 100! I'm going to say mine is more like 115-120, but that is a great way to think about it. Thanks JayR

Thanks for sharing Joe and thank you Byron for the beautiful tribute to him in your fishing report. I never met Lefty, but he has taught me a lot about the activity I love most through his writings....

Found out the hard way that a bug net is necessary, but hammocks are the only way to go for me...especially on packing trips. I wont hate on tents and I may use one depending on the situation. ...

I haven't had the opportunity to fish a Syndicate rod yet, but I do have a 10' 4wt TFO BVK that I love for tightlining. It is my go to through the cold months in all stream types. I didn't realize...

Good to have you, Cory. I started off on those same rivers several years ago and now spend most of my fishing time in the park. There is a great variety and you wont run out of new water to fish.

Could not agree more and thank you for starting this thread. Although the guys don't know me from Adam's house cat when I walk in the store, they always treat me like I am in there every day. I make...

Im glad all you caught was brookies...at least above the cascades. That would have started another thread entirely!

That is the reel I have for my 2 wt rods. It has taken a good beating over many miles of hopping rocks and is still ticking. Good balance too. I cant say much for the drag as I do not think I have...

That should be a great rod for just about all of the park streams. The spawning browns on the Little River this fall may be a bit too much for it, but that is about it.

If it was me, I would take...

Nice fish! They were strong this weekend.

99% sure I saw you on the river on Monday morning as well...was fishing just down below a fella with that same shirt on. Of course, I could be...

Thanks for posting, Dan. Glad you got out unscathed and landed some fish. I look for those nests like I do snakes in the warmer months, but I am usually looking up, not at eye level. Not sure I...

Great stuff! Thank you for putting that together and sharing.

Believe me when I say I completely understand. You should be excited...only a small percentage of people in this world will ever have or make the opportunity to do what you did. Its a great feeling.

Thanks for the pics and the post...great fish!

Just some advice for future posts (and please keep them coming) ...if you want to continue to be able to get away from crowds and fish by yourself,...

That is a great report. Very well done and much appreciated.

It's funny how a trip with one fish will be more memorable than those days when you catch 30+. It's like Grumpy said, catching the fish...
