Block UserGreat Smoky Mountains National Park
My cousin Rich and I just got back from a week fishing and hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
We experienced winter and summer in just a few days, fishing the West Prong of Little River in the snow on Monday and Abrams Creek in Cades Cove in 80 degree temps Friday.
We caught about 100 wild rainbows between the two of us during the week. No browns or brookies were taken. Almost everything was taken on dry flies.
Check out my gallery for photos from the trip.
hit the Codorus again today.. off to a great start
Went back to the Codorus Creek this morning. The first two hours were a bust, didn't have a bite.
Decided to head downstream to a hole that is a favorite of mine and my fishing partner John. Connected with four wild browns in about 15 minutes from the same spot using a 14 scud.
Moved up stream, switching to a little black stonefly dry after a live one landed on my vest. Picked up two more browns on the dry and another on the scud. Seven fish for three hours of fishing, not bad at all in my book.
Thanks for the re-building input. I was thinking about sanding, but I will give scraping a try. I hope to spend some "quality time" with it later in January, I will let you know what happens.
