We’ve been rooting for rain for two years and I think we finally got what we’ve been asking for. East Tennessee got twice its usual rainfall in December 2008 and we’ve already had our quota for January. Let me be the first to declare the drought over. Little River came up quickly last night and […]
It Was a Beautiful Weekend on the Water
Unfortunately we we locked up working on our programs for the fly fishing shows. We were tempted to get out on the water since the weather was so beautiful for January but our daughter went to the movies with her grandparents and we only get so much time to work on this stuff together. Our […]

The gauge on Little River said the water was 60 degrees just upstream of Townsend, but I was skeptical. Yes, it has been quite warm, but the river is usually about that temperature around Memorial Day […]

Another year has come and gone. We’re gearing up for a busy 2009. We’ve got a hefty schedule of appearing at fly fishing expos in the next couple of months, we’ve got two new books that will be coming out within a month, and we’ve already booked a number of guided trips. But before we […]
