Cold Front
« on: May 11, 2012, 10:26:51 PM »
Made it over to the Smokies for the first time and got there as a cold front and rain arrived.

Cool temps and rain seemed to put fish down, but a #14 beadhead squirrel nymph with split shot started to do the trick.

Wild trout are always fun!

Headed further South after a couple of days to the Tellico area and gave that a try. High sticking rubber leg stone fly nymphs caught trout all day long.

Walked back toward the truck and came across this on the trail:

A closer look for Jarrod!

Be careful out there, I have seen eight snakes this Spring while fishing.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

Great trip report! I love tailwater fishing, but something about rock hopping in the mountains while chasing wild fish cuts to the core of fly fishing for me. So thanks for the report, it reminds me that I have to get up that way soon. (sans mr. no shoulders)
