I spent yesterday fishing a couple streams on the NC side of the smokies. Started off the morning having to stop and let this bull elk make up his mind when to cross the road. Then upon entering the park the rest of the herd was scattered around. First fish caught was biggest of the day. Even though it was caught miles into the park I feel it may have been a stock fish that had run up stream.
Fishing for the next couple hours was only fair picking one up here and there, but at least size was good.
Moved to a smaller stream midmorning and started catching one or two every hole all on dry. They ran a little smaller but where still of pretty nice for the park.
No trip is complete without a trophy. Glad the ranger didn't see me land this guy, he might have thought I was fishing with bait.
