Those fishing the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park that are just getting started may
be surprised to learn that catching the wild trout
in the small streams requires some skills they
may have not associated with fly-fishing.
1.Hiding and sneaking up on trout the trout is a
big part of it. Trout spook very easy.
2. Being able to get your fly to drift naturally or
what anglers call a "drag free drift" in turbulent
water with cross currents is another.
3. Casting in small streams that are totally
enclosed with tree limbs is another.
4. Being able to cast a fly a long distance is not
one of them. Short, pile, curve, roll and other
types of "messed up" cast are necessary.
5. Having a huge amount of expensive fly gear
is not a requirement.
6. Having inside knowledge of secret fishing
holes is not a part of it. Trout are abundant in
all of the streams.
7. Those new to fly-fishing for trout may also be
surprised to learn that the trout they are trying to
catch are relatively small but that they are either
native or wild trout that were born in the
streams. The trout are not stocked trout from a
hatchery.
8. Fly-fishing the park is not difficult. Once you
get the hang of a few basics techniques, you
should be able to catch a few trout.
9. Never forget that the experience of fly-fishing
should be fun, peaceful and relaxing. Being
able to enjoy the day should be your first priority.
