I know that area well, so sad. Prayers to the families of the lost pilots. Hope that the crash site was away from the Tellico drainage and won't cause any long term pollution.

The principle chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee, Joseph Lambert, who has been impeached by the tribal council, actually told the chamber he didn't want them there, in a building that they had...

Last Friday I had the opportunity to be in Bryson City, NC and visit the Southern Appalachian Fly Fishing Museum. It is located on Main Street (Highway 19) across the street from the public parking...

Stana,

No recent advise on the pickerel but I use to catch them up on Lake Michigan back when I was a teenage boy, fishing with my uncle. A sizeable one can really put up fight as I recall and if...

buzz and bigsur:

Thanks for the comments. Looks like I timed my trip just right. Although I do enjoy the smokies in full fall color, I dread the leaves in the water.

Sounds like the wife...

Nice to read the roads are open once again. I didn't see that 441 form G-ville to Cherokee was closed, originally, only that Smokemont campground and riding stables were closed. I'm coming down at...

Thanks to you also, imnohero for the info.

Thanks Buzz! Much appreciation for your response. I'll check it out.

I'm planning on fishing the park from September 24 to October 1. Can anyone tell me where I can rent a self-contained small RV in the areas of either the Tenn side or the NC side. Alternatively, I...

Emerald green ash bore don't infest oak; so much for their science. I doubt if all the invasives abide by the rules that men attribute to them. How many RV's are built from wood. 99%? How many bugs...

There is an older gentlemen who lives on the res and is a Baptist minister at a church in the res who sells nice oak and really cheap (it was 2 years ago). Can't recall his name, but he delivers....

Speaking of developers, does any one remember seeing the 6 or so log condos built on the very water's edge of the Tuckaseegee river in WNC, between the res and Bryson city on the Cherokee side of the...

Whatever you get...make sure you get waders with maximum traction between the boot sole and the snot rocks. Very important in the smokies streams.

You might consider a good, adjustable wading...

Happy Birthday Byron! Many more!

I've used 9" 5-6w, 8 1/2 5w, 8' 5w, 7 1/2 4-5w, and I've often thought about building a custom 6 1/2 4w just to keep me out of the branches. I usually always nymph, thus the longer, heavier weight...

Shawn and others:

I'm going to chime in a general way on this issue but I really don't know anything about this situation. But I will say that left to the devices of others wrangling in the...

Rog1, thank you my friend for those kind words. Sorry that you too have had to experience the loss of your good friend, fishing companion and protector of your son.

Dogs, especially Labs, are so...

My fishing buddy (Buddy) for the last 13 years passed away in the early morning hours today, in his sleep. He succumbed...

Sounds like someone has been feeding that little guy camp food. Hope the experience scares him enough that he won't want anything more to do with humans. I've seen them also bang the cage with poles...

Joe Humphrey's has a couple of real good videos on casting nymphs with and without droppers, which also works well with wets and drys as well. He preaches the gospel of side arm casting for overhang...

Back several months ago, I sent an email to the the LR chapter president asking for the LR address to send a donation to in lieu of my renewal dues to TU national. Never did get an answer. And yes I...

The pettiness comes from the top, down. The administration in the WH put out the edict to all agencies involved in the "sequestering" to, "make it hurt"! Then they will simply blame somebody else for...

So right you are my friend. I've even had rainbow clear the water and nail the fly while it was being false cast to dry it, where they wouldn't even examine it during the presentation.

On any...

Duckypaddler,

Thanks for posting this! Good info, but it ended suddenly. But at least now I know the subject is out there on Youtube and will look for more in the future. Thanks!
