Great Smoky Mountains - Low Elevation
Tip of the week:
Techniques:
Approach & presentation is the name of the game here. These fish don't often get overly selective on fly patterns, but they spook easily and won't tolerate a bad drift!
Fish upstream, dress in earth-tone clothing, and keep a low profile. Stay back and make longer casts in slow pools. Get closer and keep as much line off the water when fishing pocket water.
Seven-day forecast:
Rain and thunderstorms in the forecast for the next several days. We could actually use a little, but keep an eye on those water levels.
