Let me first say how fortunate I am to live in an area that has such great and diverse fishing opportunities. East Tennessee has everything that a fisherman could ever want. From small mountain streams to tailwaters that fish like rivers in Montana and plenty of lakes in between.

I just finished watching the Appalachian Trail documentary by National Geographic. It had a brief bit about our acid deposition problem in the smokies and Steve Moore and his crew were featured.

That being said, some of the best, most memorable days I have ever spent on the water were days when I only caught . . . → Read More: And it begins…

Unfortunately, fishing plans don’t always work out the way you had hoped. TVA apparently decided that they needed to produce more electricity and therefore were running two generators both Wednesday and Thursday last week. Which were the days that Steve Sylvis from Nashville was planned to be here.

Since Kris, Doug, Scott, and Brett are all away at Yellowstone, I figured it was incumbent on me to post an entry. While I won’t claim that I wouldn’t have joined them if I could have (I am 6 weeks from fatherhood right now), you don’t need to travel halfway across the country to . . . → Read More: Cataloochee Creek GSMNP

It has been quite a while since I, or anyone for that matter has posted a blog entry. I think it has something to do with the fishing/guiding season going full swing.
I have spent at least 4 days a week in the National Park over the past 2 months. When asked about this, . . . → Read More: It’s been a while / Gone Fish’n

Unplanned success! I was supposed to teach a beginning fly fishing school, but due to bad weather my students had to postpone the school. Fortunately Doug had the day off and was planning on being in town to do some shopping or something. A quick call and the mention of some smallmouth and it . . . → Read More: Little Pigeon 4/19/2008
