Fly Fishing for Brook Trout in Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Advice from the Guides

Many of the best brook trout streams were closed from 1976 through 2005, but now they are open to fishing. This is the first guide book to cover these streams since they were re-opened.
Fly fishing guides Ian & Charity Rutter have spent two years exploring the Smoky Mountain backcountry to compile the information in this book. The book provides stream descriptions, directions to the streams, and even makes recommendations on which fly rods and leaders are best for each stream.
