We’ve been pretty slack about getting fishing reports up in a timely fashion. The reason is that we’ve been incredibly busy guiding. In fact, it’s been the busiest guide season we’ve ever had and we’ve been going almost non-stop since mid-March.
It’s been great to see all of our old friends this season, plus we’ve had a good number of new customers. Some have come from as far away as Michigan and New York.
Here are some of our favorite photos of Smoky Mountain streams and Tennessee’s tailwaters from the past few months. Looking back at these photos it’s hard to believe this only covers a few months. There’s been lot of water under the waders and drift boat. Enjoy!
