Paula and I hiked to 3 Forks with the Bohanon brothers and camped there one night about 20 years ago, by chance. We met them on the trail. They were very nice men. Though they were much older than...

Little River is full of rock bass, through Townsend and below. The lower end of town, from the new bridge upstream to a point is owned by the State. You can wade in there and catch them and...

Thank you for sharing your weekend backpacking trip with us. Campsite 18 is a special place that brings back many memories to me. It's a tough hike for me too, these days.

Hey Shawn,

I enjoyed reading about Mr. Evinrude. Great story.

Something similar to Gary's story happened to me a few years ago. Paula and I have a 20 hp Mercury 4 stroke. I was fishing with...

I was at the State Park with some friends Thursday through Saturday morning. We met with another friend who works for EcoGro who designed and built Hatchery Creek.

The new 1-mile section is...

I just saw this post. Sorry it took so long to respond. The report I get is actually forwarded to me from a friend who works in the Park. It does not appear to be something that is mass-mailed. I'm...

Hey Guys,

I asked Steve Moore a few years ago if lead was banned in the Smokies. He said it was not. Evidently, the lead split shot ban in Yellowstone has something to do with those endangered...

Thanks again everyone. You are too kind.

Bob, I'm happy you guys did well at Fly Tyers Weekend. This was a group effort between LRO, Tremont Lodge and Resort and the Southeastern Council of...

I want to thank all of you for the kind words and early this morning, as I prepare to finish up Day-2 of Fly Tyers Weekend, you have really given me a boost. You made a great day even better for me....

Paula and I just returned tonight from Chilhowee Lake. It is official. I took this photo today. A public notice has been released. Chilhowee Reservoir will be drained again. I"m sick.

It's not in any of the angling industry news I've read. If you Google, "Shimano acquire Winston", only this post shows up. That does not seem likely to me. If it's true, it has not been announced. ...

Fixed!

Ed,

The link in your post to your magazine seems to be broken. It does not work for me. I did an internet search for Southern Kayak Fishing Magazine and got it.

Byron

Ed,

I read your magazine and enjoy each issue very much. I have also sent links to some of my friends who enjoy it as well. I thought Josh made some excellent points in your article about Little...

Thank you everyone!

I just saw this post. Yep, I'm older than dirt.

Spent yesterday, paddling and floating down the French Broad, in two violent storms, the third worst ever for me on the...

The site seems to be working now.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the USGS website? I can't get Little River or any other page on their site. That began for me at 6:30 am today.

Byron

Great piece Dan,

Paula and I may try that tomorrow. I wish everyone else could see the video you took that day. It is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Byron

You guys are both correct. We sell a lot of one-day fishing licenses. And, we can't help but tell customers about the North Carolina license as an option, to fish in the Park. It's our job. They...

I have been fishing with guides for over 50 years. My father hired guides so I could enjoy new fishing experiences and learn more about our sport when I was young. Fly fishing guides have been an...

Happy Thanksgiving to you guys. I feel very thankful for your friendship. Today, I'm feeling thankful for just about everything especially good friends.

Thank you,

Byron
