You can take a boy out of Cocke county, but you can't take Cocke County out of the boy :rolleyes:

Here's my input. I love all the head water streams, but not so much the main stream in first 2 miles. The rocks in Big Creek are all rounded and canopy is more open making it harder to have a stealth...

Unfortunately In TN I see much heavier loads regularly on Ocoee & Pigeon. They also have no gear, only people:rolleyes:

Thanks for the CO advice. I ended up blowing off fishing since water was too...

Nice Post! Thanks for sharing. Some great photos. I see you like the epoxy on your flies. I've been experimenting with 3 different formulas of UV resins. It cool what you can accomplish quickly and...

It's a sign that your fishing too low in the watershed;). Move upstream. I forget the name of the creek that comes in on sinks side just upstream of the Wye, but there are like 28 species of fish...

I'm looking into buying some plastisol for some experimenting with. It seems pretty straightforward and their are plenty of Youtube video's out there, but if there was someone local who would be able...

Like they said BAD IDEA!

The good things about those tubes is they are amazing stable keeping you upright. Downside they are completely stable upside down and will...

One piece of relevant info that others have left out is there is now a stream gauge on Abrams.

I believe you would want 50cfs or less on that...

Here's something no one has mentioned. I know they have been doing alot of work on Appalachia Dam forcing them to release into the dries (natural riverbed). That would explain Appalachia saying zero...

"Could" being the most important word in your statement.

If the Park Rangers in the Park can't tell the difference between a Rainbow, Brown, and Brook trout, I wouldn't worry to much about getting...

A paddling buddy of mine Alex Zendel made this awesome website for paddlers: http://www.rainpursuit.org/map/

Pretty soon he will lose access to all the PUBLIC data. Seems like the govt. can make...

Man if I would have known you were up there I would have had you watch the boys for an hour and could have gotten a run down the Sinks. You could have taught them the attributes of finding the...

I heard a report of a brook trout caught in Walland. I think it had more to do with fish getting washed downstream in a flood of water than chasing preffered temps. Also where most trout live there...

Some great advice here already so I won't repeat what the consensus says, but one thing not to be overlooked is water temp; especially this time of year. You mentioned Tremont so I will use the...

Yea I hate the scratch marks in the wilderness. I'm no LNT Nazi, but do try to give the upmost care.

Matt I know your a gear head and since you won't get a chance to wear those boots down here...

That wins the old school award!

Makes me think of this Tim O'Brien song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mssTuf4EMkc

I may have to give this a try. Super-lightweight, full ankle support. The...

Is Photobucket backed by the Russians, cause they are truly evil killing all 3rd part hosting.

Tried Google free image hosting doing 3 different things, then finally joined Imgur to get them...

It's pretty simple. If the stream eventually flows into the Mississippi it Southern, if it ends in the Atlantic its Northern;)

Thursday was my first trip to the Smokies in I don't know how long. My next door neighbor said he would be happy to watch my boys from when the school bus came till Mom got home, and I was able to...

Man I saw her at Gauleyfest. I'm definitely attending if you get her to join the wet T-shirt contest.:rolleyes:
...

Not legally. While I believe the streambed is not "technically closed" you really aren't supposed to place a foot on the trail. Also they closed the whole trail not just up from Chimney's parking lot...

Great job on the slam! Great first post. 2 monster bows in 1 day, and a slam to boot, that's a good day
Thanks for posting

If I didn't have Farmer's Market, the boys and I would be there for sure. Looks like a great event. Good job on all your hard work for TU.

Now that your moving up and gaining influence in the TU...

I seem to get in trouble every time I say it, but that's not a fiserman's trail! It's the old trail from when trail from top used to extend all the way down left fork before they diverted it down to...
