Thanks for the info.
Edit- I have Dropbox but it would require moving photos from the file to DB then on to the forum. Would be nice if one could download photos directly from the files to the...

What is a hosting site?

Got Don's book about 25 years ago. Saw him at the 2018 FFing expo in Atlanta and got his autograph. Interesting and great detail. As to the park, so much water so little time. My two brookies were...

Only fished a small section not far from the parking lot. Yes, Jay gave a lot of info from his experiences there. Thanks, Jay. Looking to fish some other places. My "weakness" is brook trout. First...

Actually, two questions here. First, is there a good time to fish the Horseshoe on Abrams Creek? I have a hatch chart for reference. I understand it takes all day to fish the entire length. Due to...

Did not know him but your thread gives him a fine description of what kind of person he was. Thanks for the information.

I began to work at Lowe's here in Cleveland and had time off during the week. At a TU meeting, I inquired about where to fish in the park. One of the fellows quickly stated, "Tremont as locals call...

Any possibility of a FTW sometime in 2021, depending on the status of the pandemic? Attended one many years ago and enjoyed it. Also, miss Troutfest.
Tight lines and screaming drags.

Not fishing the Smokies or anywhere local but thought this section would be best to post the link. With those two caught, were do you go from there?...

Hmmm. Didn't notice the date of the original thread. Need to keep track of the dates. Just gave the lens range but nothing on the camera itself. Great photos, though!

Very nice photos. Hope to get up there and spend some time with a new camera. What camera were you using? A DSLR will have settings to compensate for dim lighting or even no lighting.

Traditionally, wet flies are used for Tenkara but the Tenkara police won't say anything if you use a dry fly or popper...or red worm. Did some fishing with a 7 ft. telescoping bream pole, black braid...

"Gee, I'm sorry that my granddaughter hooked your ear. There is a walk-in clinic in Maryville that can remove it.";)

Hmmm. Plenty of leaves. Just be sure you know what poison ivy looks like.

If and when I fish the park, it will be some of feeders into the main LR.

Depends on how far in the backcountry. I would wear them rather than carry them. I don't go far off the beaten path these days. Summer, I wade wet.

I know there are hundreds of miles of places to fish. Fished the park many times in the past. Have one I would like to fish. My concern is getting into the park, not having to fight traffic and...

News Channel 9 in Chattanooga had a news item about the record visitors this summer. Showed people shoulder-to-shoulder in one photo. Social distancing? Another photo showed cars parked along both...

If my cabin was on fire, I wouldn't stick around to see the sheets melt or burn.

Fireman- Don't you know not to smoke in bed?
Man- It was on fire when I got in it.

Curious here. What is considered a good tip? Say an all day trip costs $400.

Thanks for the info. Thoughts and prayers for the family.

I have to agree with No Hackle. In addition to a longer leader, I will go to a lighter tippet. Takes a bit of patience and practice to cast a real long leader.

The Hiwassee picks up as the rising water washes insects, nymphs, etc. out of the rocks, etc. Falling water will cause the fish to move to deeper spots during low water conditions...supposedly easier...

If a firearm was used, according to TWRA officers, you might want to have some scratches or bite marks to show them. Just shooting a bear and no evidence of attack could be surmised as poaching....
