Looks like a great board you guys have here! I hail from Southeast Tennessee & have the Hiwassee 30 mins from my back door. Get to spend around 100 days a year on the water. Fish the GSMNP about as much as I do local waters.
Gary Im in Bradley Co as well. Mark Im south of Maryville . I can make it to LRO in Townsend in 1.5 Hours. I really enjoy fishing the park & can be to most spots on the east side in 2 hours or less.
Gary, did you ever try smallmouths on the lower sections of Tellico (Below Turkey Creek) I am thinking of trying it Saturday.
Unfortunately, no. I’ve never done much smallmouth fishing period. I spent most of my Tellico time on the main tribs above Turkey. I did, rarely, get some smallies in the non-trout areas of the Hi. When I lived there 15 years ago, I was pretty new to fly fishing (not fishing). I used to spend a lot of tme just packing, paddling, and “wheelin'” the area. I’ve since given up the ORV and whitewater, but those drainages (Ocoee, Hi, Tellico) used to be like my fairyland. We still make a pilgramage up there each July for a long weekend camp.
