    How can you tell when the water is high?

    December 8th, 2011 | Fishing Report, smokies, Tailwaters | Ian | Comments Off

    This is one way… We’re in the middle of another high water session all across the Smoky Mountain region with creeks boiling with whitewater and our tailwaters running full. The Norris Dam is about start spilling so we won’t be fishing the Clinch any time soon. Even the Watauga and South Holston, usual good bets [...]

    November 28th, 2011 | Fishing Report, smokies, Video clips | Ian | Comments Off

    We managed to capture this on video over the weekend and thought there would be plenty of you who would like to see it. This is a bear cub at Tremont. His mother had already crossed the stream and he was somewhat less than enthusiastic about making the plunge, and we can understand. The water [...]

    November 14th, 2011 | Fishing Report, smokies, Tailwaters | Ian | Comments Off
