Dream Trip

[DaveS]

Folks, it's always been my dream to trout fish an "Icy Cold" East Tennessee river or stream. With the help and guidence of "Timestepper" my dream came true....

Here I am in the Icy cold waters of the beautiful Clinch River!

And I even caught my first trout ever!

Thanks Don!!!! I am now officially hooked on trout fishing!!

Mind numbing serenity!

I hope there was an evening campfire with some trout in a buttery skillet!

No sir....but it wasn't for lack of trying! The experience alone was awesome!

Good Stuff! I am heading to the mountains later this week for a couple nights in the wildness.

Very cool. There is nothing like fishing a river early in the morning with fog still laying over the water.

Now that you've done the Clinch you need to go try Tellico River and Citico Creek.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Dave! I'm really looking forward to actually floating the Clinch with you and maybe wrapping a couple of trout in foil with dilled garlic and bacon and cooking them on coals right on the river bank for lunch.

My Brother went to school at ETSU and while he was there I went up to visit him one weekend.

He took me around to all of his favorite spots.

We fished the Watauga right next to downtown Elizabethton where I caught several trout that were rising on dry flies.

I'm not sure what the name of the next place was, but the stream was not much wider than a ditch. It was on a steep slope so it would drop into pools about every 10-15 feet. We fished it from bottom to top and I would just lay my fly up in each pool as we went up. You'd better be ready because they would hit it as soon as it hit the water and if you missed them you might as well move on. They were all Brook Trout about the size of the one in wd-40's picture.

That day I caught Browns, Rainbows and Brooks.

That was a great day.
