Stinks....on the bright side it means I won’t be distracted from chasing smallmouth for the next few weeks.

Anybody gotten out to chase some pre-spawn mommas lately? Looking forward to the water levels dropping over the next few days so I can hopefully find some this weekend. Should be a fun few months...

Since I primarily target browns I would say just in general my go to’s are Coffee/Black Girdle Bugs, Rubber Legged Princes, Brown/Copper bead Walts worms, Rubber Legged Hares Ears, etc. It really all...

Let me know how you do Flyman. Hope you wear them out.

You’re the man, Jim. Keep gettin after em!

No worries at all man, and I appreciate the kind words. Hope you can get in on the Smallmouth action here real soon.

Bingo lol. Some people take this to the extreme.

Swamp, if you’re referring to divulging a fishing location, the LP is a mighty big river. I think my secret is quite safe. If I’m taking your comment completely the wrong way I apologize.

Wanting to spend a little time with the fiancé last Sunday, I opted to take her up to a super awesome section of the Little Pigeon to introduce her to the game of Smallmouth fishing on the fly. I’ve...

Jim, what a specimen! You are the man my friend, great job. I fished some new NC water outside of the Park yesterday in between the storms and was rewarded with this fine, 15” female. As we always...

Joel, I typically fish nymphs euro style, meaning tight lining with long leaders. I typically build my own. The leader setup is as follows:

1) 8-10’ of Maxima Chameleon 20 LB
2) 3-4’ of Suffix...

Hahaha he ain’t lyin man, I know I know!

One of the things I tell people who are interested in targeting wild brown trout in the National Park is to pick your battles patiently and wisely. Instead of opting for the bright, bluebird sky kind...

Bingo. Probably not a huge factor under standard conditions.

None taken at all brother, I find myself making fun of my generation almost daily, especially at how easily offended they are. And your point is definitely both valid and accurate haha.

Ouch Wolf, that hurts lol. I just love wearing a hoody because it keeps the back of my neck from getting absolutely fried. It’s very comfortable no doubt. I know what you mean though. And absolutely...

I’ve had a few people say the same, but I’m typically conservative in regards to length. She was a definite solid 22” for sure. Thanks for the kind words bro!

Jim, our fish are alike in many ways. Both have very similar spotting (the 1st pic of mine) and both are females. Mine had some serious chompers on it, and yours looks like it’s not lacking in that...

Jim, you are the man! Congratulations on an incredible fish. Love reading your posts and stories.

Dang autocorrect changed the title. I don’t see why I can’t change the thread title to Noland lol. Mods please help.

Going to make a trip Saturday over into the Bryson City area more than likely. I was thinking about giving Noland shot, considering I fish a lot of the neighboring streams in the Park. I know it has...

Lol, Cosby is loaded. Absolutely crushed it there last Fall on my last trip over there. Planning for a day over there in the next couple weeks.

I tried on my phone and couldn’t get it to work. Guess I’ll have to do it on my laptop lol

One more shot of this beautiful girl. I love those blue cheeks!
