Thanks Wayne. One of these Octobers I plan on making the trek down to
your neck of the woods. I really enjoyed the couple of days of fishing
I grabbed last April (2009) while visiting the mother-in-law in
Crossville. It left me hankering for more. Fishing that is. Not so
much son-in-lawing.

tailwater tennessee trout fishing is much different than rock-hopping
and clambering in the nc streams. judging from your winter ski treks,
i'd say you'll have no trouble fitness wise...and wayno can show you
hazel creek's best. i've just begun discovering the tennessee side of
the smokies, and there is a lot of good water in the area. the clinch
river sections i fished in May were fun and yielded some larger than nc
trout. good sulphur hatch and lots of rising fish... not something seen
on the nc side. danl has been exploring the eastern tenn. streams and is
a good source of info when you decide to head down that way again.

Fished the Little River when I was down there. It was interesting and
fun. Sort of like a combination of Wisconsin small stream fishing and
mild Montana topography. Unfortunately an April snowstorm in the
mountains had put a halt to the Sulfur hatch that had been going on,
but I still managed a few fish on soft hackled wets (which, in size
22, had out performed the flyshop recommended Zebra midges on the
Clinch a couple days earlier).

I'll definitely be back.
