A great 2 1/2 days of fishing & food, with 4 other good friends, i'm ready to leave again after a few more showers & sleeping in a bed for a few more days :D

Nice trip and looks like fun. I'll need to rig out a good dry fly box before heading there.

Do you still need a city permit?

Looks like a great time. Were you out with Byron? I know he mentioned something about being gone from the shop and fishing for a while. I need me some solitude.
"Often, I have been exhausted on trout streams, uncomfortable, wet, cold, briar scarred, sunburned, mosquito-bitten, but never, with a fly rod in my hand, have I been in a place that was less than beautiful."

Very nice. I'll be heading up there soon.

It looked to be in good shape, still closed though.

I think you have to have a permit in Gatlinburg....that's miles away from where they were fishing.  The Tellico River has a daily fee permit during stocking season but the wild tribs they were fishing do not require one.
