Farris Creek Bridge

ask a local where that bridge is and you will get a strange look :D, to us locals I fished at Hurdlow Bridge. snow and the water was the best looking I've seen in some time. Wading down the middle of the river, throwing an 8 weight with a sink tip, Double Bunnies and Zoo Cougars, got one tear the rod out of your hand hit, other than that no activity, but was a great day to be alive and about.

I've seen people camping on the other side of the river at this bridge in a pop up. What's the deal on that? Will I get shot at if I do it?
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

lol

I used to think this when putting my boat in there:




The only complaint I have is that location seems to be a dumping ground for dead goats and dogs! Don't ask me why... but its a shame.  If it was located in Lincoln County I could get it cleaned up.   I would hate to complain to TVA and have that access shut down.

Its a great access point...

If you don't have a boat, go north up river, under the bridge, and fish the 25 ft past the bridge for some nice fish.

If you have a boat, go down river for some great fishing.
