Heading down late June/early July. Any guide recommendations? Thx!

Biggest impact on the fishing for us was whether we were fishing behind someone or not. When we first dropped in to the water we thought we had gone pretty far up. Fished for about an hour and...

A buddy and I made it out to the park today for the first time since it closed. We went WAY up one of the closed roads. Took a lot of effort to put in the miles, but it was worth it. Didn't see...

There are a number of good guides and you can't go wrong with any of them, but I've always enjoyed going down the river with Mike Bone. I might be wrong, but I'd guess he's probably taken more folks...

Thx! I may take you up on that when I get back in town.

Good stuff Shawn. Thanks!

Key Ideas in finding a good boat fit:



Make a list on things you desire/require in a boat.

How are you going to transport/launch
Storage

Thanks Waterwolf for the insight and the offer. I'm slammed for the next two weeks and then out of town for the next two weeks (which maybe isn't a good omen for the amount of time I'd actually be...

Thanks for the insight as to the fishing shows. Definitely a good place to shop.

Any thoughts on running a Towee boat on the Clinch/Holston/French Broad. I know the Towee boats are made in TN...

I've been toying with the idea of buying either a raft or a drift boat for floating the local tailwaters. The big problem I'm having is the lack of opportunities to "kick the tires" on what would be...

Thanks 16g! Will check it out!

Thanks! By south of that area are you talking about Sarasota/outside the bay or further south. We'll have our truck so can move around if needed.

Heading to Tampa in March with the family. The kids are too young for salt water fly casting (they do OK on our local streams), so this will just be spin fishing. Any recommendations on a guide in...

Thanks! May head north and check out the SoHo if it is floatable.

I have an opportunity to take a day off next week and was thinking about hitting one of the tailwaters. I haven't been out in a while and the message board has been pretty quiet. How are the...

Agree with all these tips.

I'd hit Elkmont, Tremont, or Greenbrier areas. Keep walking upstream until you are well away from the crowds.

Fly choice isn't as critical as stealth. Stay out of...

Your nymphs should work fine.

I almost always use an Elk Hair Caddis for a dry and/or a Greenie Weenie.

As others have said, a stealthy approach and presentation are much more important than...

We bought the Nikon Monarch 7 and have been very happy with them.

Every few years Cornell Lab of Ornithology does a huge review of binoculars. I believe 2013 was the last year.

I don't know...

Thx. I've been doing some reading online. Looks pretty good.

Heading down mid-July for a week with the in-laws. Any guide recommendations? Thanks!

Especially love the baby bird fly:

Yep. Always give your significant other the front of the boat!

Had a great half day of fishing with Mike Bone this morning. Beautiful first day of Fall!

These two rainbows taped right about 20". My wife caught the fish of the day, though. Initially I...

Given your location, if it's not too hot I would fish along the gravel road after Tremont Institute. Water may be too warm, though.

I fished Greenbrier this weekend with a yellow EHC/Greene...

I don't think he ever said he was in the park. Six fish over 15" in the park
would be a record day. I'm guessing private water outside of the park, but if that is inside the GSMNP hats off! In...
