We started with Anna setting the hook into a nice rainbow trout that measured over 15inches!! The trout fishing slacked off some during the…

Flyfishing Lessons

Flyfishing Lessons

Had the opportunity to teach my wife’s younger cousin the art of fly fishing over Memorial Day Weekend. He did really well listening to all the basics, practicing casting, learning to read the river, and being patient before getting out there and actually trying to catch some trout. He was able to catch a couple…

Wild Trout Fishing in the Smokies

Had my parents up this past weekend to enjoy spring in the mountains. They wanted to do a short hike, so I suggested heading up into the Smokies to check out the Cataloochee Valley. Plus, I figured I might be able to bring the fly rod along and show everyone a wild trout. We hiked…

French B Fishing

French B Fishing

I’ve fished the French Broad River twice this week, Tuesday evening and Sunday afternoon. Overall, it’s been somewhat a tough bite with the water still stained and running good. (Might be other reasons for tough fishing, spawning? fronts? fishing pressure? river traffic? not sure really…) We have managed to put 6 smallies in the boat…

Opening Day of Delayed Harvest on the Tuck

Decided to float through the crowds of bankers and wadders on the DH waters of the Tuck. We did alright once we got to some clear water away from the crowds. Caught over 20 fish between the two of us. Mostly on in-line spinners, worms, and brown trout crank baits. That was really close to…

Fished in a small lake off 107 today. Caught one small rainbow on a fox spinner with a trailer. Lynae caught two nice trout, one wild looking rainbow and one nice brown at 13-14 in. She also missed the fish of the day that slammed her in-line spinner right next to the boat and started…
