We’ve been holding our breath a bit as we’ve watched the weather radar over the past few days. Streams in the Smokies can’t be uniformly rated as “high” or “ideal” as a number of thunderstorms have hit the region in a hit or miss fashion. It’s safe to say that streams in North Georgia are [...]
It’s that time of year! While it’s not at all common to see a timber rattlesnake, they are out and about in the Smokies. This one was crossing Little River Trail about two miles above Elkmont on Tuesday. As for people who are out in the mountains and streams all the time we usually see [...]
Things have finally started to dry out here in East Tennessee and the Smoky Mountains. The following graph might only look like a bad flashback from 12th grade math, but for those of us who closely watch river and stream levels it’s pretty significant. What you’re looking at is the lowest water levels we’ve seen [...]

We’ve obtained a calendar of fisheries projects taking place in the Smokies during 2013. This is your opportunity to learn all kinds of things you didn’t know about Smoky Mountain trout, have fun, and give back to the resource. Much of the work that gets done in Great Smoky Mountains National Park is accomplished through [...]
I remember it like it was only yesterday. In fact, it was yesterday. A good float with two fun anglers who have been fishing with me for years now. Overall the day was a little bit streaky. They’d have a slow stretch of water with only a few strikes, then hit a run where the [...]
We’re beginning to feel like every Monday is almost the same around here. Just as the water levels were just getting right we get a ton of rain over the weekend and the creeks are blown out on Monday. At least most of you are probably sitting somewhere away from the stream as you read [...]
