I am going to Gatlinburg for Christmas, does anyone know of some good trout
streams in the area?

File an appeal, maybe they'll reduce your sentence to a couple
of weeks in the county jail.

No, but if you drive over to Townsend, Tenn. I am sure the folks at Little
River Outfitters will send you in the right direction. It is one of my favorite
fly shops and I have been a happy customer of theirs for several years.

At his time of year, the pressure on the streams in the Park will be greatly
reduced. You should be able to fish quality water - driving your car to any
one of the numerous pull offs and fish. No hiking necessary.

As previously stated there is the Little River shop in Townsend, a short
drive from Gatlinburg, and an Orvis in Gatlinburg.

If you are going over to the south side of the park the are some shops to be
recommended in that area as well.

The main thing is to get to a local shop for fly advice.

I fished in the area years ago in the summer. Found lots of water, very few
others fishing and had a blast. Im told there is fishing on the Pigeon thru
Gatlinburg but even years ago Gatlinburg was a right-wingers version of
zoning and taste, ie a wasteland of crude ripoff artists with no respect for
the country.

The best fishing I found was along the Little River road, and at the end of
that road along Abrams Creek, below the Cable Mill in Cades Cove. From the
Gatlinburg park entrance, take the main road to the the Sugarlands visitor
center, then go right. I don't have a clue as to the Winter fishing in the
area but recall that you had to carry either a Tennessee or a North Carolina
licence, but no trout stamp. Lots of little Brookies.

The park itself IS incredible by any standard. Id just try to spend as
little as possible in either G-burg or Pigeon Forge- why reward "businesses"
that trash our country?

There's lot of good water around there, from tailwater to brookie streams to
everything inbetween. I second Dale's rec of Townsend but since you are in
Gatlinburg, check in with the fly shop in Gatlinburg. If my hazy memory
serves me correctly it had an original name like the Smoky Mtn Fly shop or
some such and was on the second floor in a building accross the street from
the welcome center.

yup wayne, it is an orvis shop on the 2nd floor.... if i recall
correctly, there's a hard rock cafe next door.

there's also a shop a mile or so north on the main drag... they do
whitewater stuff also.

like BD said.... the killer shop is in townsend and the creel in
knoxville is a damn good shop also.
