I have been reading Byron's fishing reports every morning for a long time. This week he says that fishing is good in the Smokies. With all due respects to Byron, I just can't agree. I have not caught anything this week. Yesterday, the water was stained a coffee brown. I had one light hit on a Quill Gordon wet fly and that was it. Maybe fishing is good for some of you but it is not good for me. If it doesn't get any better, I might just quit fishing altogether and collect, buy, trade, and sell vintage fly rods and fly reels like some other old guys I know.
