Maybe you’ve heard of FlipBoard and maybe you haven’t, but we’ve started an online magazine that’s a compilation of articles from around the internet. In our FlipBoard, creatively called the R&R Fly Fishing Smoky Mountain Journal, you’ll find our fishing reports and blog entries as well as other interesting items we’ve noticed in fly fishing […]

Volunteer To Help Fisheries Biologists in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
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 […]
What a Difference One Day Makes
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 […]
Another Week, More High Water in the Smokies
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 […]
Video of a Hatching Dragonfly

WBIR was going to broadcast live from the Townsend Spring Festival and wanted to do a number of stories around Townsend. As it worked out we were pretty booked and didn’t have much time to make this happen. Fortunately Charity […]
A Pattern Emerges: More High Water in the Smokies
All that rain we got over the weekend has area rivers and streams running high once again. A real hardcore angler can find some spots to fish in the Smokies today, but we’ve actually postponed guide trips we had scheduled for today so we could get our folks out during better conditions. All this water […]
The Next Rage in Fly Fishing Fashion?
The creators of Wool & Prince shirts claim to have devised a shirt that can be worn for 100 days and resists dirt and body odor. We can’t help but notice how many of our fly fishing compatriots seem to have a relatively limited wardrobe. Maybe they’re like me and have a few favorite shirts, […]
