I had a little more time on my hands than normal, so I ventured into the Tennessee side of the Great Smoky Mountains to fly fish for native Brook Trout. Always good to explore new water--the scenery and the fish did not disappoint!

Flies that found success today= NOTHING BUT DRY FLIES!!! haha

Have fished this prong, it’s a fantastic place. In that hole starting at 7:08, a lot of times they’ll stack up along the bigger rock on the right. The current from the fall is faster there, you can throw your dry against the rock and they’ll crush it when it falls in. Awesome video, thank you!

Great stuff, I'm a former bass guy turned fly fisherman and am still new to the sport but after a couple dozen brookies this winter/spring I'm hooked

Very very nice, more into fall those brook trout will get really really colorful as they start to spawn

Great video and I love this channel! Can you see your feet when walking with that chest pack? I have the cross current and I can’t see my feet and I’m enough of a clutz that it really bothers me. Thanks for sharing sir!

Beautiful area and some nice brookies. As long as your anywhere in the National Park is a NC fishing license valid in Tennessee as well?
