I think Jud's place is named Pursuit Farms.  He just has a farm on the river.  Primitive camping with a pavilion.  Ground zero for some of the more serious fisherman and hell raisers. ;)  It's just down the road from where I'm staying.  Should be no need for a reservation but if a large group comes then we may need to tell Juddy ahead of time.  South Holston, Watauga, Nolichucky... long list.

& you'd really never have to leave the campground for some great fishing, well there is that store with the huge Cheeseburgers :D

Jet boat, canoe, or both?

jet won't work unless they're under generation, lot's of dragging anything if they aren't generating.

Low water is a wading thing but there should be releases going on during that time.  Jet boat?  Depends on what boat it is I guess.  We're using a Triton and a G3 and both work very well.  Canoe?  Noper.  September would be a fine time to come for cranes and baetis.

This Could definitely turn out to be a great tirp guys.  Juds is a Prime Base Camp in the heart of Tailwater trout country.
Sept usually has Clear skies, and night fishing could be ago.  Flows will be the determining factor of which waters to fish, but there's excellent smallie water or mtn streams within 40 miles if the generators are pushing.

I'll also throw this out...Late Sept or early Oct, I'd be glad to host a group on the New River in VA.  It's about 140 miles (interstate, then 4 lane hwy) past the State Line at Bristol, VA.

I know this is a Haul from mid TN, but in the fall.....there's nothing else like it for smallies and musky.  Two totally different fisheries, but worth a mention.

Either one sounds awesome. Lets set it up.
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.

Can't say for sure until we know the date, but I sure would like to try to make it, especially if it's going to be somewhere that my Gheenoe will float.
