Thanks Jeff,
According to the Little River Outfitters website, the hatches are supposed to be coming off pretty good and so is the fishing. I really hope so. My first trip to the Smoky’s in three years.
I’ll take a look at Greenbrier, I’ve never fished that one.Got back late last night after a whirlwind week in the Smokies.
My cousin and I fished five days and caught almost 100 rainbows, almost all on dry flies.
For those of you fishing there in the next couple of days, Abrams creek has an amazing Green Drake hatch coming off along with March Browns and what looked like Henricksons. I caught 14 on Friday, all on a size 10 Parachute March Brown. The largest was almost 12 inches which for me is a monster in the Smokies.Thanks to all that offered suggestions before we left and a BIG thank you to the guys at Little River Outfitters. I have to be honest, we were cheap on our licenses (got the 10 day $10 NC) but between my cousin and I, we dropped over $400 in LRO and another $100 in the park on gifts for the family. A special thanks to Daniel for helping my cousin out with his rod purchase and to Byron for the Tremont suggestion. We got into a bunch of great fish there and the scenery is beautiful. Can’t believe I never stopped there on my first seven trips to the Smokies.
I’ve posted a photo gallery from my trip on my fly-fishing blog at:
