Amen.... I was hoping for some of the bigger kids, and once you're in the riffle you might as well walk to the end.......

On that note, I guess I will just stick around Nashville and look for the brown fish. Too much of a gamble to drive to the Elk.

I fished the Elk last Tuesday and the fishing was hard... had to work for every fish I caught.  I fished from 9am until about 3pm and caught 1 rainbow and 6 brookies.  I started off in the float tube near the dam and saw absolutely zero midging activity.  Fished my way down stream and picked up odd fish here and there.  The brookies came out of the faster runs and seams and were caught on sparkle back hares ears and green copper johns, #16. The rainbow came on a black sparkle wooly bugger.  I missed 3 or 4 more on the bugger... not sure why I was having problems hooking up.  It was TOUGH!!!

Anyone have any pictures of the brookies?
